Armenian Genocide Research Questions

My research questions address the political tension surrounding the acknowledgment of the Armenian Genocide as it pertains to foreign relations, as well as the genocides significance.

What does Turkey have to gain by denying the Genocide? Is it a cultural or political reason?

Why did the Ottomans want to exterminate the Armenians?

Do Armenians feel safe in Turkey today, especially since Turkey does not acknowledge the genocide?

Why was the Armenian monument in France stolen? Did someone want the memories to disappear? Was it a simple theft, or was it connected to the particular monument?

Is Turkey's acceptance into the EU hindered by Turkey failing to acknowledge the genocide?

Will Obama risk the America's relationship with Turkey in order to bring up Turkey's denial of the genocide?

Did any countries come to the aid of the Armenians back in 1915?
