Denial is not only the last stage of genocide but also the first. One
need merely recall that the diplomatic representatives of the Ottoman
Empire in Geneva and New York were denying the annihilation of Armenians
in real-time, clinging to the arguments of negation and rationalization
that the first denialist pamphlets would go on to compile as early as
1916-1917.
