Armenian Genocide recognition is the formal acceptance that the systematic massacres and forced deportation of Armenians committed by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923 constituted genocide . The consensus of historians and academic institutions on Holocaust and genocide studies recognize the Armenian Genocide . However , despite the recognition of the genocidal character of the massacre of Armenians in scholarship as well as in civil society , some governments have been reticent to officially acknowledge the killings as genocide because of political concerns about their relations with the Republic of Turkey , the successor state of the Ottoman Imperial authorities which perpetrated the genocide . The governments of Turkey and its close ally The Republic of Azerbaijan are the only ones that directly deny the historical factuality of the Armenian Genocide , and both are adamantly opposed to the recognition of the genocide by other nations , threatening economic and diplomatic consequences to recognizers
