People, especially authority figures, question if it did occur because they do not want to hurt any relationships with Turkey. However, it is mainly Turkey who does not believe that it actually occurred, the reason being is that they claim that it was just a necessary deportation like how the U.S relocated the Japanese population in the time of World War 2. On the contrary, I do believe the Armenian Genocide occurred because it was a deliberate killing of a large group of people, being the Armenians. At the beginning there was about two million Armenians and by the end about 1.5 million were dead and only 388,000 Armenians were remaining. Therefore, it really did occur but Turkey is just in denial.
