YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 27, ARMENPRESS: In its February 27 issue New York
Times has referred to the Armenian Genocide, Armenpress reports.
As New York Times writes, "Raphael Lemkin coined the term "genocide"
with two mass slaughters in mind: the Armenian genocide and the
Holocaust. Winston Churchill referred to the extermination of the
Armenians as a "holocaust."
>From the pre-Lemkin description of the killings as "race extermination"
by the U.S. ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, Henry Morgenthau, to
the categorization of the elimination of the Armenians as "genocide"
by the International Association of Genocide Scholars, the nature of
the destruction of the Armenians has been well-established for nearly
100 years. Attempts to recast the 20th century's seminal instance
of genocide only serve those who seek to subvert the truth of what
happened to the Armenians, the magazine concludes.
