Were any national borders changed as result of armenian genocide?
No. Ottoman/Turkish borders were changed as a result of World War I in general and the Treaties of Sevres and Lausanne, but not as a result of the Armenian genocide in particular.
Are there any survivors from the Armenian genocide?
yes
Who did the Armenian genocide kill?
Any Armenian child, woman, or man residing in the country of Armenia and surrounding areas.
Does Turkey admit to the Armenian genocide?
No. Turkey has passed legislation banning any open discussion of the Armenian Genocide (part of Article 301) and uses its important diplomatic and economic position to prevent other countries from recognizing the Armenian Genocide. This has resulted in many Turkish diplomatic problems, like EU entry, which is conditioned on Turkey's acceptance of the Armenian Genocide. Failure to recognize the genocide has made it difficult to establish diplomatic relations between Turkey and the modern Republic of Armenia.Please see Editorial: Turkey Must Recognize the Armenian Genocide from 2004 to read more.
Did the Allied Powers find out about The Armenian Genocide that the Ottoman Empire performed during or after World War 1?
The Allies were generally aware of the Armenian Genocide during World War I. They were not aware of its extent or ferocity, but they were aware of its occurrence. The Allies simply could not care that the Armenians were being butchered and were helpless to do anything anyway. The genocide was occurring deep within Ottoman territory, far away from the Allied-controlled beachheads at Gallipoli or the British offensives in the southern Levant.Other Central Powers were also aware of the Armenian genocide, arguably more-so since accounts of the Armenian genocide from German diplomats are the most erudite contemporaneous accounts of the events, but did not care; the Central Powers needed Ottoman support if they stood a chance of winning the war. As a result, German and Austro-Hungarian leaders officially silenced any diplomat that spoke about the genocide during World War I.
Were the Kurds brought to justice for their role in the Armenian Genocide?
There have never been any international criminal trials or civil trials concerning the Armenian Genocide since Turkey has effectively prevented many major countries from recognizing the genocide. So, no conspirator in the genocide, of which a large minority were Kurds, has ever been brought to justice. However, unlike the Turks, several Kurds have apologized and sought forgiveness for the crimes of the Armenian Genocide or have been active in promoting the recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

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.
