I asked chatgpt Armenian Genocide in Turkish and English.


Translation of full Turkish text via Google Translate:

This issue is extremely sensitive and controversial historically, politically, and emotionally.
I can summarize the facts as objectively as possible:

Historical Background

Between 1915 and 1917, during the final years of the Ottoman Empire, the Armenian population, particularly in Eastern Anatolia, was displaced by the policy of forced migration under the conditions of World War I. Numerous Armenians lost their lives during this period—some due to wartime conditions, epidemics, famine, and conflict, while others were directly the result of violence.

Differing Views

Many countries and historians define the events as the "Armenian Genocide." This view argues that the systematic extermination of approximately 1.5 million Armenians was attempted.

The official view of the Republic of Turkey, however, maintains that the events were not a "genocide," but rather a series of mutual clashes and tragic losses that occurred under wartime conditions, and that the Ottoman administration did not intend to destroy the Armenians.

Academic Status

International historians have differing perspectives on this issue:

Some researchers argue, based on documents and testimonies, that this was a planned policy of extermination.

Others argue that, based on Ottoman documents, it could be characterized as "ethnic cleansing" or "deportation," but that it might not meet the legal definition of the term genocide.


If you'd like, I can provide you with:

impartial academic sources (e.g., the differing opinions of historians such as Taner Akçam, Raymond Kevorkian, and Justin McCarthy),

or the status of international recognition (which countries recognize it as "genocide"),

or a detailed summary of documents in the Ottoman archives.

Which would you like me to start with?
