Turkey's Denial
of the Armenian Genocide
and the State of Armenian Historic Sites in Turkey
As part of its denial campaign,
the Turkish government to this day continues to try and erase
evidence of the existence of Armenians from the central and
eastern Anatolian regions (central and eastern Turkey) through the
destruction and intentional neglect of Armenia's historic sites
which date back centuries. This includes over 2,500 sites within
Turkey's control, including more than 200 monasteries and 1,600
churches.
