Penyangkalan genosida Armenia: Perbedaan antara revisi

"It may be inaccurate to say that denial is the last phase of genocide, as has been posited by Israel Charny and others, including this writer himself, for denial has been present from the very outset, even as the process was initiated and carried forward toward the desired end."}}<br />{{harvnb|Akçam|2018|p=3|ps=. "...&nbsp;the denial of the Armenian Genocide began not in the wake of the massacres but was an intrinsic part of the plan itself. The deporting of the Armenians from their homeland to the Syrian deserts and their elimination, both on the route and at their final destinations, were performed under the guise of a decision to resettle them."}}<br />{{harvnb|Cheterian|2018a|p=195|ps=. "Ottoman Turks exterminated their victims in secret. They pretended to displace them from warzones for their own safety, and great care was taken to communicate orders of massacres in secretive, coded messages.

Pada Mei 1915, Rusia, Inggris, dan Prancis mengeluarkan [[deklarasi Entente Tiga Mei 1915|komunike diplomatik]] bersama kepada [[Pemerintahan Kekaisaran (Kekaisaran Utsmaniyah)|pemerintah Utsmaniyah]] yang mengutuk "[[kejahatan melawan kemanusiaan|kejahatan terhadap kemanusiaan]]" Utsmaniyah dan mengancam bahwa pejabat Utsmaniyah yang terbukti bersalah akan dimintai pertanggungjawaban.{{sfn|Chorbajian|2016|p=170}} Namun, pemerintahan Utsmaniyah menyangkal bahwa pembantaian orang-orang Armenia telah terjadi, dan mengklaim bahwa orang-orang Armenia telah berkolusi dengan musuh. Mereka berargumen bahwa kedaulatan nasional memungkinkan mereka untuk mengambil tindakan terhadap orang-orang Armenia. Mereka juga menuduh bahwa orang-orang Armenia telah membantai Muslim dan menuduh Sekutu melakukan kejahatan perang.{{sfn|Chorbajian|2016|pp=171–172}}
