The Armenian Genocide
1st.
PRELUDE TO GENOCIDE 2nd. THE PRIMARY PERIOD Covering the world war years of 1915-18. Most titles presented refer
primarily to this stage. Geographically, territories involved in this
phase are: the Plateau of Armenia, predominantly the western sector; Asia Minor also referred to as Anatolia, including historic Cilician Armenia;
Northern Kurdistan, inclusive
of the Assyrian territories; Northwest Iran; Eastern Thrace in
Europe; as well as the Syrian and Mesopotamian
deserts. The Pontic regions of the Black Sea
suffer significantly during the next period. 3rd. THE COMPLETIVE PERIOD Covering the years of 1919 – 22. Works listed for this stage are fewer than those of the previous section. Among the titles included, only a small number deal with the gradual demise of the Ottoman national identity and the rise of the racist-nationalist ideology of Turkism and its expansionary concept of Turanism-Panturkism, most pertinent from 1908. Although the expansionist concept is utilised prominently during the previous stage, Turkism, however, is strictly implemented from the advent of this period. 4th. THE DENIALIST PHASE ENCOURAGING A PSYCHE OF REPETITION This stage has gained significant importance with connotations for the future. It begins in 1921 with a Friendship Treaty concluded, in bad faith, between the perpetrator and the Soviet state. It comes into focus prominently, however, with the signing of the Lausanne Treaty of July 1923. One of its primary objectives has been to veil and bypass the realities relevant to Armenia and the Armenians. It attempts to achieve this orientation by overriding the pertinent clauses of the Sèvres Peace Treaty of August 1920. Resolutions adopted unanimously by the League of Nations were categorically against such a development. Consequently, the trend of bad faith is compounded significantly. That trend remains in motion. Denial of facts, and of the necessary corrections, perpetuates malfeasance. It was less than two decades later that the Nazi leadership declared that the Armenian Genocide had remained unchallenged, and using it as an example, embarked upon a major Genocidal destruction. Thus, the earlier notorious misfeasance of a number of major powers is complicit in this failure. For the perpetrator nations, it is collective responsibility. A number of later publications cover the denialist phase. Some also record other genocides. Current realities demonstrate that, practically all Genocide scholars and historians, except some who directly or indirectly worked or have been involved with the perpetrating element, classify the Armenian destruction as a Genocide. Scholarly publications predominantly reflect this fact.
