There are two halves to this question.

What is the Armenian Genocide?
The Armenians, along with the Pontic Greeks, and Assyrians, were subject to a GENOCIDE in the Ottoman Empire during the years of 1915-1917.

The genocide was very well-organized. The first group attacked and murdered were the Armenian intellectuals in Istanbul, which were the very people who would be most attached to the Ottoman State and willing to argue against independence in their communities. Next, entire villages were expunged of the majority-Armenian, majority-Greek, and majority-Assyrian inhabitants and the names of the cities completely altered to create "theoretical" Turkish names in a process called Turkification. The Armenians were marched to Deir ez-Zur in the Syrian desert without food and water (the Pontic Greeks and the Assyrians were marched to other places). There were numerous massacres and concentration camps along the route to Deir ez-Zur. Roughly 1.5 million Armenians were killed and over half of the Armenian homeland was depopulated of Armenians.

Should the Armenian Genocide be recognized?
Yes. It is worthwhile to have an honest discourse about history.
