Studies Conducted in Türkiye Against Armenian Claims

Abstract

Armenians have taken on great propaganda activities since the 1920s to prove that they have been subjected to a genocide. They have written many boks, published many articles in scientific journals, and continue to do so. While only Armenians initially produced works on the subject, researchers from many different countries around the world are seen to have recently begun writing on the subject.The number of studies carried out in Turkiye against Armenian claims are insufficiently low. The situation becomes clear when comparing the number of centers and institutes working on the subject in the world to those in Turkiye. Also a large gap exist between the number of the publications on the matter in and outside of Turkiye. Although in Turkiye the number of the publications had continued to increase until the early 2000s, then stagnated in 2008 with a relative increase in 2015 until starting to decrease again. This article examines the publications in Turkiye from 2008-2023 against Armenian claims. Previous studies on the subject, reveal Works in great detail until 2008. However, these do not include postgraduate dissertations conducted Turkish universities. This article, subjects these dissertations to a general evaluation. In addition, studies that contribute to countering the Armenian claims are also taken into account, while studies that support Armenian claims have been disregarded.
