On 24 April 2021, President Biden formally stated that the United States recognised the mass deportation of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire in 1915 as genocide. As expected, Turkey reacted furiously to the announcement, which has come as a major blow to its long standing efforts to fend off cases of Armenian Genocide recognition. So, what is the issue all about? And why does Turkey campaign so strongly against recognition?

In 1915, soon after the Ottoman Empire joined the First World War on the side of Germany, Armenians living in the Empire's eastern provinces rose up against Ottoman rule. In retaliation, the Ottoman Government ordered the arrest of many leading community leaders and the deportation of the Armenian community. In the months that followed, the Armenian people of the Empire, along with Christian Assyrians, were forced to march south into the deserts of Syria. As a result, it is estimated that anywhere between 600,000 and 1.5 million men, women and children died from hunger, exhaustion, neglect, summary execution and abuse. Faced with a national trauma, and now spread out around the world, in the years that followed the Armenian people began a campaign to have the events of 1915 recognised as a genocide. In recent decades, this campaign has gained ground, much to the steadfast opposition of Turkey. While it accepts that hundreds of thousands dies, it regards claims of genocide as incorrect, unproven and as a stain on the nation. So, what are the arguments and what does recognition mean in real terms?
