Armenians Genocide or the Great Tragedy 1915 Opponent's Argumentation

Investigating 1915`s painful events which were called “the Great Tragedy” by Turks and “Genocide” by Armenians is an issue that has attracted the attention of some researchers. The topic has been vague because of special reasons such as political sensitivities and researchers` limited access to the related articles of Ottoman، Armenia and Russia. Here، first we have defined the concept “Genocide” and then scientifically dealt with the historic issue through indirect study of the existing documents in the Ottoman empire and the researches done by the opponents of Genocide Theory. The article، by a descriptive- analytical method، investigates the changes occurred during 1915 and 1916 due to Armenians forced migration and massacre. To compile the information in the article، in addition to printed sources، valid online sources have been used.
