11CitationSteven Eke reports that the genocide theme has provided a sense of national identity for dispersed Armenians and argues that it is the Armenian diaspora rather than Armenia the country that works for international recognition of the Armenian massacres as genocide; see Steven Eke ‘Armenian Diaspora Bound by Killings,’ BBC NEWS,12 October 2006 at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6044682.stm

12 Many newspaper articles portrayed Lewy as if he helps the Turkish side on the Armenian issue while ignoring his critique of the Turkish version of historiography. See for example, ‘ABD'li Profesör, Ermeni soykırımı iddialarını yalanladı,’ Zaman, Citation28 August 2005; ‘Lewy: Soykırım belgeleri kuşkulu,’ Radical, Citation30 August 2005; and ‘Lewy'ye göre soykırım kanıtı yok, kuşku var,’ Sabah, Citation30 August 2005.
