No. Turkey has passed legislation banning any open discussion of the Armenian Genocide (part of Article 301) and uses its important diplomatic and economic position to prevent other countries from recognizing the Armenian Genocide. This has resulted in many Turkish diplomatic problems, like EU entry, which is conditioned on Turkey's acceptance of the Armenian Genocide. Failure to recognize the genocide has made it difficult to establish diplomatic relations between Turkey and the modern Republic of Armenia.

Sam Azadian, who lost four siblings during the Armenian Genocide, founded the first Times Square Commemoration in 1985. The Turks don't recognize the Armenian Genocide as such.

Who was responsible for the Armenian genocide and WHY did they do it?
Genocide is defined as "the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group." The Ottoman Government was responsible for the Armenian Genocide. To be specific Envar, Jemal,and Talat-pasha were the main people who organized the genocide. The killings were an attempt to wipe out the Armenians and rid them from Turkey. The reason you hear many people complaining/talking about the Armenian Genocide,and not the Holocaust, is because the Turkish government has not accepted the Armenian Genocide. They say it was a civil war, not a genocide, and they teach that to the children in the schools.
