Turkey's Denial of the Armenian Genocide
and the State of Armenian Historic Sites in Turkey

As part of its denial campaign, the Turkish government to this day continues to try and erase evidence of the existence of Armenians from the central and eastern Anatolian regions (central and eastern Turkey) through the destruction and intentional neglect of Armenia's historic sites which date back centuries. This includes over 2,500 sites within Turkey's control, including more than 200 monasteries and 1,600 churches.
