Who recognizes the Armenian genocide?

Answer 1

Turkey applies a lot of pressure to all of its allies to ignore the Armenian, Pontic Greek, and Assyrian genocides. Considering that Israel cannot afford to really lose Turkey as a regional ally, this is the motive for non-recognition. However, there have been a number of debates in the Knesset concerning recognizing the Armenian genocide as the Turkish-Israeli relationship becomes increasingly weaker. Additionally, most Israeli academics are not even conflicted on the question of the genocides; they argue quite strongly that it did happen, like the majority of academics worldwide.

Only 30 or so countries recognize the Armenian genocide, not even the United States federal government, and almost none recognize the other two. It is very unfortunate, in my view, since whether a tragedy is a genocide should not be a political decision, but should be clear from the historical facts. Unfortunately, the government of Turkey has made the recognition of the genocide a political issue.

Answer 2

No, Iran does not recognize the Armenian Genocide.
