By: Hovhannisyan N. H., Corresponding Member of NAS RA

In the evaluation and recognition of genocide, including the Armenian Genocide-Armenocide, a turning point was the formation of genocidology in the second half of XX century as a new scientific branch within the social sciences.
The investigation and detailed analysis of many primary sources, official documents and other materials about the Armenian Genocide brings to the conclusion that: a) The Armenian Genocide is already an internationally recognized genocide corroborated and recognized by the international scholarly, legal and human rights community; b) The Ottoman Empire was not merely the first state that committed the first genocide of XX century – the Armenian Genocide, but also the first state that recognized the crime in 1919 by the Ottoman court-martial Verdict; c) Turkey is the founder of the genocide-denial industry; d) Now a new phase has begun: transition from the recognition of the Armenian Genocide to the liquidation of the heavy consequences of the Armenian Genocide committed in 1915 in the Ottoman Empire.
