Armenian Genocide recognition refers to the formal acceptance that the massacre and forced deportation of Armenians committed by the Ottoman Empire in 1915-1923 constitute genocide. The overwhelming majority of historians as well as academic institutions on Holocaust and Genocide Studies recognise the Armenian Genocide. As of 2009, twenty-one countries such as Canada, Argentina and Sweden and forty-three states of the United States of America have followed suit as well. Turkey denies the Armenian genocide, but a few lone Turkish voices have recently joined international critics in condemnation of Ankara`s position.
