Fifteen years ago the idea of Armenian and Turkish historians sitting down together to discuss the traumatic last years of the Ottoman Empire would have been almost unthinkable. Yet the last several decades have witnessed a profound shift in how scholars have dealt with the vexed question of the deportations and mass killing of the Christian subjects of the empire. A sustained dialogue has emerged that has moved beyond accusation and denial. In recent years, moreover, a new wave of subtle denialist literature on the Genocide is presenting a new challenge to those historians who have long been convinced that 1915 marks the first major genocide (at least in or near Europe) in modern times.
