Very informative article but I just had to flair it for this:
>**While there is a broad consensus of the facts of the Jewish Holocaust, researchers point out, other crimes – such as the Armenian genocide – are contested, and may be used as political tools.**
>”Turkey contests the notion of genocide [when] applied to what happened in 1915,” says Premat. “So that’s a source of disagreement.”
*Meanwhile, Turkey recognising the Armenian genocide is being used as a pressure point for Ankara’s admission to EU membership.
>Negotiations have been frozen for many years, “and France is not really promoting that decision”, Premat says.
I’m sorry, contested by who? What researcher worth their salt says that “Armenian Genocide is contested”? Holocaust is also contested by certain states and high profile entities and yet it’s not considered to be contested. Clown show.
