Genocide scholars and court question

[Hyegirl]

Were there any courts that declared the Armenian genocide to be a genocide?

Also, I would like to break this guys argument where he says that most experts on the matter like Justin McCarthy for example do NOT agree with 1915 being a "genocide". Unless he is right, which I doubt is true or is what I will hear here, do you know any good sources/names to disprove this?

No that person is clearly lying. Its like me saying most countries recognize that the Armenian Genocide was a lie and did not happen, just look at Azerbaijan.
Justin McCarthy is one of a few, handful of "historians" who do not recognize the genocide, all of whom are one way or another connected to the Turkish government, who oppose the almost unanimous consensus among the general historian community.
Justin McCarthy is an agent of the Turkish government, with heavy ties to various government institutions, and has been thoroughly criticized by various historian for using selective and incomplete facts, distorting facts, and providing biased analysis.

The International Association of Genocide Scholars has accused him of "severely selective scholarship that grossly distorts history" http://www.voelkermord.at/docs/Schol...nying_IAGS.pdf

His "work" has been criticized by many historians as a perversion of history, and as propaganda and Turkish nationalistic agenda. He is a member of the Institute of Turkish Studies, which has paid him well over the years

A Youtube member. I suspect he is a bonehead Turk based on his reply that I derived my question from. I have not looked at his page yet. This is from a video on the new French law about genocide denial.

Lol, don't give them the respect of responding. especially youtube members, youtube is definitely not the place for sensible discussion, mostly just 5 year olds saying worst insult they can do.
