Summary/Abstract: Regardless of whether we call it genocide, massacre, exile or deportation, events experienced in Ottoman lands in 1915 cost countless lives, forced millions of Armenian people to leave their lands and left deep marks on next generations. In the 100th anniversary of 1915 events, it is impossible to say that Turkey has made a considerable way in terms of coming to terms with 1915 events.
