Turkey is an important ally of the U.S. and other Western nations, and so their governments have likewise been reluctant to condemn the long-ago killings. In March 2010, a U.S. Congressional panel at last voted to recognize the genocide.
Samuel Troten in TEACHING ABOUT GENEOCIDE wrote: "" The trauma is especially enduring because of the refusal of the perpetrator regime or its successors to acknowledge the crime and engage in acts of contrition and redemption.""

Why is the Armenian genocide not considered a genocide by some people?
Most people around the world do consider the Armenian genocide to be a genocide. However, there are some opinions that run counter to this mainstream view, especially in Turkey where successive Turkish governments deny it and have jailed those who say otherwise. Turkey has also made declaring the Armenian Genocide to be a genocide to be economically disadvantageous to any nation which openly states it, preventing many nations from coming out against it. The Turkish position, and the position of those who believe similarly, hold that a genocide has two components. The first necessary component of a genocide is the singling out of one or more races for worse treatment than the remainder of the population. This worse treatment must be harsh enough to be considered repressive or oppressive and not merely having fewer rights. Most Turks acknowledge that the Armenians faced incredible hardship during their forced relocations and evictions that would satisfy this requirement. The second necessary component of a genocide is the intent and execution of a plan to eliminate the singled out race from the planet or, barring that, from any territory claimed by the genocidal power. This is where Turks often say that the Armenian case falls short. While Turkish soldiers were unconscionably brutish, belligerent, and murderous, there was never a top-down order or insinuation that the Armenians should be exterminated. The fact that many died was due to the appalling conditions under which the forced relocations and exodus were performed. This view does not acquit Turkey of its actions, but puts it in the same ballpark as the Trail of Tears in the 1820s in the United States: an atrocity that is not quite a genocide. As noted before, this view, namely that the Armenian genocide is not a genocide is a minority view. Most claim that there is sufficient documentation to establish that the Ottoman Empire intended to exterminate the Armenian people (and thus fulfill the second necessary component of a genocide). The massacres that followed were in accordance with those orders.

What is the relationship between how Jews were portrayed to the public and their persecution during the Holocaust?
Between 1941 and 1945, around 6 million European Jews were murdered during the holocaust which was the genocide during World War II and this is in consanguinity with the form of deflecting the acts of criticism from the actions of the Nazi Leadership in Germany, by swindling the German community and deluding international public portraying a sense of foreign aggression from the Jews.
