I. Introduction<\/p>\n
The principal purpose of the current thesis lies in the comparative analysis of three<\/p>\n
major approaches to the issue of Armenian genocide. The researched worldviews include: the <\/p>\n
Armenian<\/p>\n
, <\/p>\n
Turkish<\/p>\n
, and <\/p>\n
American<\/p>\n
visions of the Armenian genocide. Also, a mental note <\/p>\n
should be made that the investigated worldviews are discrepant and contradictory, making the <\/p>\n
ongoing study more valuable. In other words, the relevance of the present thesis lies in the <\/p>\n
necessity to ascertain which worldview with regard to the Armenian genocide is the most <\/p>\n
viable and incontrovertible. Additionally, the current study is likely to explore the correlation <\/p>\n
between the analyzed approaches to the matter of the Armenian genocide and the world <\/p>\n
vision of the aforesaid genocide in general.<\/p>\n
In view of the above, the thesis statement should be formulated as follows:<\/p>\n
The historical facts and documentary evidence proves the existence of the Armenian <\/p>\n
genocide of 1915-1923, whereas the general political worldview, sustained by Turkey and the <\/p>\n
United States, is based on the Armenian genocide denial.<\/p>\n
In order to guarantee the coherence and logical consistency of the thesis, a set of <\/p>\n
research questions needs to be answered. Therefore, the research questions must be <\/p>\n
enumerated as follows:<\/p>\n
1.<\/p>\n
What is the Armenian vision of the Armenian genocide of 1915-1923?<\/p>\n
2.<\/p>\n
What is the Turkish position concerning the Armenian genocide of 1915-1923?<\/p>\n

II. The Armenian point of view concerning the matter of the Armenian genocide<\/p>\n
To start with, it should be clarified that the issue of Armenian genocide is tightly <\/p>\n
connected with the past status of Armenia in the Ottoman Empire. Analysis of the <\/p>\n
complexities in the relationships between the Armenians and the Turkish will help to grasp <\/p>\n
the impetus to the genocide. According to Suny (2009), Armenians passionately defend their <\/p>\n
position that \u201cmassive deportations and massacres of a peaceful, unthreatening people were <\/p>\n
ordered and carried out by the Young Turk authorities and that these events constitute a <\/p>\n
genocide\u201d (932). Also, the Armenian researchers emphasize that almost all prominent <\/p>\n
scholars accept the position that the intensification of the massacres of the 1890s resulted in <\/p>\n
the genocide of 1915. However, there are still disparities in various approaches to the nature <\/p>\n
of the aforesaid massacres.<\/p>\n
In this light, Richard G. Hovannisian starts his contemplations on the issue of the<\/p>\n
Armenian genocide by asking the question, whether the results of total war in the Armenian <\/p>\n
plateau are incremental cleansing or premeditated genocide (5). According to the author, the <\/p>\n
strictly Armenian answer to the aforementioned question lies in the fact that the genocide is <\/p>\n
the premeditated death warrant for the Armenian people. Moreover, the Armenian scholars <\/p>\n
and their Western colleagues express confidence that the death warrant in a form of the <\/p>\n
genocide had been issued in covert meetings of the Young Turk dictators before the Ottoman <\/p>\n
Empire entered the Second World War as an ally of Germany (Hovannisian 5).<\/p>\n

In contrast to the purely Armenian approach, certain Western thinkers, such as Jay <\/p>\n
Winter, Norman Naimark, Ronald Suny, and Donald Bloxham are prone to believe that the <\/p>\n
\u201ctotal war\u201d policies became worse after Turkey\u2019s entering the First World War leading the <\/p>\n
country to the deterioration and radicalization of different repressive measures \u201cinto the most <\/p>\n
extreme form of persecution\u201d – genocide (Hovannisian 5).<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, the Armenian researchers accentuate the deliberate character of the <\/p>\n
Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire. The Armenians substantiate their vision of <\/p>\n
genocide with the historical evidence. Thus, various plans to deal with the Armenians, the <\/p>\n
