Armenian Genocide denial is the act of denying the Armenian Genocide, a program of mass killings and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the Young Turks (a movement lead by the three Pashas that gained control of the Ottoman Empire during the early 20th Century) during World War I.
The main argument of deniers is that the killings cannot be classed as genocide because the Turkish policy towards Armenians was one of forced resettlement and most of the deaths were caused by illness and an alleged civil war. In reality, the genocide was accomplished mostly through death marches into the Syrian desert and by forcing Armenians to convert to Islam. The official policy of the Turkish government has been to deny the genocide ever since it was committed, and many other countries do not recognise it as a genocide.
