The tombstones consisted mainly of thousands of khachkars , uniquely decorated cross-stones characteristic of medieval Christian Armenian art. The cemetery was still standing in the late s, when the government of Azerbaijan began a systematic campaign to destroy the monuments. In , Azerbaijan barred European Parliament members from investigating the claims, charging them with a "biased and hysterical approach" to the issue and stating that it would only accept a delegation if it visited Armenian-occupied territory as well.

In Azerbaijan, the Armenian genocide is officially denied and is considered a hoax. According to the state ideology of Azerbaijan, a genocide of Azerbaijanis, carried out by Armenians and Russians, took place starting from Mahmudov has claimed that Armenians first appeared in Karabakh in The enemy can never defeat Azerbaijanis on Azerbaijani soil. Those who rule the Armenian state today must fundamentally change their political course. The Armenians cannot defeat us by sitting in our historic city of Irevan. Historic falsifications in Azerbaijan, in relation to Iran and its history , are "backed by state and state backed non-governmental organizational bodies", ranging "from elementary school all the way to the highest level of universities".

Croissant: "It was charged that the "two Azerbaijans", once united, were separated artificially by a conspiracy between imperial Russia and Iran". In Azerbaijan, periods and aspects of Iranian history are usually claimed as being an "Azerbaijani" product in a distortion of history, and historic Iranian figures, such as the Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi are called "Azerbaijanis", contrary to universally acknowledged fact.

As noted, in order to construct an Azerbaijani national history and identity based on the territorial definition of a nation, as well as to reduce the influence of Islam and Iran, the Azeri nationalists , prompted by Moscow devised an "Azeri" alphabet , which replaced the Arabo-Persian script. In the s a number of Soviet historians, including the prominent Russian Orientalist, Ilya Petrushevskii , were instructed by the Kremlin to accept the totally unsubstantiated notion that the territory of the former Iranian khanates except Yerevan , which had become Soviet Armenia was part of an Azerbaijani nation.

Petrushevskii's two important studies dealing with the South Caucasus , therefore, use the term Azerbaijan and Azerbaijani in his works on the history of the region from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Other Russian academics went even further and claimed that an Azeri nation had existed from ancient times and had continued to the present. Since all the Russian surveys and almost all nineteenth-century Russian primary sources referred to the Muslims who resided in the South Caucasus as "Tatars" and not " Azerbaijanis ", Soviet historians simply substituted Azerbaijani for Tatars. Azeri historians and writers, starting in , followed suit and began to view the three-thousand-year history of the region as that of Azerbaijan.

The pre-Iranian, Iranian, and Arab eras were expunged. Anyone who lived in the territory of Soviet Azerbaijan was classified as Azeri; hence the great Iranian poet Nezami , who had written only in Persian, became the national poet of Azerbaijan. Bournoutian adds: []. Although after Stalin 's death arguments rose between Azerbaijani historians and Soviet Iranologists dealing with the history of the region in ancient times specifically the era of the Medes , no Soviet historian dared to question the use of the term Azerbaijan or Azerbaijani in modern times.

As late as , the Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, published a book by an Azeri historian, in which it noy only equated the "Tatars" with the present-day Azeris, but the author, discussing the population numbers in , also included Nakhichevan and Ordubad in "Azerbaijan". The author, just like Petrushevskii, totally ignored the fact that between and , Nakhichivan and Ordubad were first part of the Armenian Province and then part of the Yerevan guberniia and had only become part of Soviet Azerbaijan, some eight decades later Although the overwhelming number of nineteenth-century Russian and Iranian, as well as present-day European historians view the Iranian province of Azarbayjan and the present-day Republic of Azerbaijan as two separate geographical and political entities, modern Azeri historians and geographers view it as a single state that has been separated into "northern" and "southern" sectors and which will be united in the future.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union the current Azeri historians have not only continued to use the terms "northern" and "southern" Azerbaijan, but also assert that the present-day Armenian Republic was a part of northern Azerbaijan. In their fury over what they view as the "Armenian occupation" of Nagorno-Karabakh [which incidentally was an autonomous Armenian region within Soviet Azerbaijan ], Azeri politicians and historians deny any historic Armenian presence in the South Caucasus and add that all Armenian architectural monuments located in the present-day Republic of Azerbaijan are not Armenian but [Caucasian] Albanian.

President [Harry S. That day he told Syngman Rhee to start the attack on North Korea with the counter-propaganda that North Korea first 'invaded' the south. Further North Korean pronouncements included the claim that the U. Later, the WPK blamed every wartime atrocity upon the U. The campaign against " collaborators " was attributed to political and ideological manipulations by the U. The Korean Central News Agency dismissed the historical record of Soviet documents as "sheer forgery". Holocaust deniers usually reject the term Holocaust denier as an inaccurate description of their historical point of view, instead preferring the term Holocaust revisionist ; [] nonetheless, scholars prefer "Holocaust denier" to differentiate deniers from legitimate historical revisionists , whose goal is to accurately analyse historical evidence with established methods.

When the author David Irving [note 3] lost his English libel case against Deborah Lipstadt , and her publisher, Penguin Books , and thus was publicly discredited and identified as a Holocaust denier, [] the trial judge, Justice Charles Gray , concluded that "Irving has, for his own ideological reasons, persistently and deliberately misrepresented and manipulated historical evidence; that, for the same reasons, he has portrayed Hitler in an unwarrantedly favorable light, principally in relation to his attitude towards, and responsibility for, the treatment of the Jews; that he is an active Holocaust denier; that he is anti-semitic and racist, and that he associates with right-wing extremists who promote neo-Nazism.

On 20 February , Irving was found guilty, and sentenced to three years imprisonment for Holocaust denial, under Austria's law banning Nazi revivalism and criminalizing the "public denial, belittling or justification of National Socialist crimes". The amendment, article 55a, referred to by critics variously as the "Polish Holocaust bill", the "Poland Holocaust law", etc. Systematic efforts have been made by Polish nationalists to exaggerate the number of Poles who were murdered by Nazi Germany. The Tiananmen Square protests were a series of pro-democracy demonstrations that were put down violently on 4 June , by the Chinese government via the People's Liberation Army , resulting in estimated casualties of over 10, deaths and 40, injured, obtained via later declassified documents.

According to Eugene N. Borza , the Macedonians are in search of their past to legitimize their unsure present, in the disorder of the Balkan politics. It has even been denied that the Nanking massacre a series of murders and rapes committed by the Japanese army against Chinese civilians during the Second Sino-Japanese War ever took place see Nanking massacre denial. Allegations of historical revisionism have been made regarding Pakistani textbooks in that they are laced with Indophobic and Islamist bias. Pakistan's use of officially published textbooks has been criticized for using schools to more subtly foster religious extremism, whitewashing Muslim conquests on the Indian subcontinent and promoting "expansive pan-Islamic imaginings" that "detect the beginnings of Pakistan in the birth of Islam on the Arabian peninsula".

Section and the authoritarian dictatorships in South Korea during s—s. The Ministry of Education announced that it would put the secondary-school history textbook under state control; "This was an inevitable choice in order to straighten out historical errors and end the social dispute caused by ideological bias in the textbooks," Hwang Woo-yea, education minister said on 12 October The move has sparked fierce criticism from academics who argue that the system can be used to distort the history and glorify the history of those who served the Imperial Japanese government Chinilpa and of the authoritarian dictatorships.

Moreover, organizations including Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union formed History Act Network in solidarity and have staged protests: "The government's decision allows the state too much control and power and, therefore, it is against political neutrality that is certainly the fundamental principle of education. On the other hand, New Right supporters welcomed the textbook, saying that "the new textbook finally describes historical truths contrary to the history textbooks published by left-wing publishers", and the textbook issue became intensified as a case of ideological conflict. In Korean history, the history textbook was once put under state control during the authoritarian regime under Park Chung-hee — , who is a father of Park Geun-hye, former President of South Korea, and was used as a means to keep the Yushin Regime , also known as the Yushin Dictatorship; however, there had been continuous criticisms about the system especially from the s when Korea experienced a dramatic democratic development.

In , liberalization of textbook began when the textbooks on Korean modern and contemporary history were published though the Textbook Screening System, which allows textbooks to be published not by a single government body but by many different companies, for the first time. Education in Turkey is centralized, and its policy, administration, and content are each determined by the Turkish government. In practice, this means that the Turkish government is directly responsible for what textbooks are taught in schools across Turkey.

He found that Turkish history textbooks are filled with the message that Armenians are people "who are incited by foreigners, who aim to break apart the state and the country, and who murdered Turks and Muslims. Recognition of the Armenian genocide is defined as the "biggest threat to Turkish national security". The Adana massacre , in which as many as 20,—30, Armenians were massacred, is identified as "The Rebellion of Armenians of Adana". According to the book, the Armenian Hnchak and Dashnak organizations instituted rebellions in many parts of Anatolia , and "didn't hesitate to kill Armenians who would not join them," issuing instructions that "if you want to survive you have to kill your neighbor first.

They stabbed the Ottoman forces in the back. They created obstacles for the operations of the Ottoman units by cutting off their supply routes and destroying bridges and roads. They spied for Russia and by rebelling in the cities where they were located, they eased the way for the Russian invasion. Since the Armenians who engaged in massacres in collaboration with the Russians created a dangerous situation, this law required the migration of [Armenian people] from the towns they were living in to Syria, a safe Ottoman territory. Despite being in the midst of war, the Ottoman state took precautions and measures when it came to the Armenians who were migrating. Their tax payments were postponed, they were permitted to take any personal property they wished, government officials were assigned to ensure that they were protected from attacks during the journey and that their needs were met, police stations were established to ensure that their lives and properties were secure.

Throughout the post war era, though Tito denounced nationalist sentiments in historiography, those trends continued with Croat and Serbian academics at times accusing each other of misrepresenting each other's histories, especially in relation to the Croat-Nazi alliance. Chetniks along with the Ustashe were vilified by Tito era historiography within Yugoslavia. In the s following a massive Western media coverage of the Yugoslav civil war , there was a rise of the publications considering the matter on historical revisionism of former Yugoslavia. One of the most prominent authors on the field of historical revisionism in the s considering the newly emerged republics is Noel Malcolm and his works Bosnia: A Short History and Kosovo: A Short History , that have seen a robust debate among historians following their release; following the release of the latter, the merits of the book were the subject of an extended debate in Foreign Affairs.

Critics said that the book was "marred by his sympathies for its ethnic Albanian separatists, anti-Serbian bias, and illusions about the Balkans". On 23 February , the Union for a Popular Movement conservative majority at the French National Assembly voted a law compelling history textbooks and teachers to "acknowledge and recognize in particular the positive role of the French presence abroad, especially in North Africa".

That law was also challenged by left-wing parties and the former French colonies ; critics argued that the law was tantamount to refusing to acknowledge the racism inherent to French colonialism , and that the law proper is a form of historical revisionism. In the Philippines, the biggest examples of historical negationism are linked to the Marcos family dynasty, usually Imelda Marcos , Bongbong Marcos , and Imee Marcos specifically. Some countries have criminalized historical revisionism of historic events such as the Holocaust.

The Council of Europe defines it as the "denial, gross minimisation, approval or justification of genocide or crimes against humanity " article 6, Additional Protocol to the Convention on cybercrime. Some council-member states proposed an additional protocol to the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention , addressing materials and "acts of racist or xenophobic nature committed through computer networks"; it was negotiated from late to early , and, on 7 November , the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers adopted the protocol's final text [] titled Additional Protocol to the Convention on Cyber-crime, Concerning the Criminalisation of Acts of a Racist and Xenophobic Nature Committed through Computer Systems , "Protocol".

The Protocol requires participant States to criminalize the dissemination of racist and xenophobic material, and of racist and xenophobic threats and insults through computer networks, such as the Internet. Section 2 of Article 6 allows a Party to the Protocol, at their discretion, only to prosecute the violator if the crime is committed with the intent to incite hatred or discrimination or violence; or to use a reservation, by allowing a Party not to apply Article 6 — either partly or entirely. Two of the English-speaking states in Europe, Ireland and the United Kingdom, have not signed the additional protocol, the third, Malta, signed on 28 January , but has not yet ratified it.

They were joined by South Africa in April The United States government does not believe that the final version of the Protocol is consistent with the United States' First Amendment Constitutional rights and has informed the Council of Europe that the United States will not become a Party to the protocol. There are domestic laws against negationism and hate speech which may encompass negationism in several countries, including:. Additionally, the Netherlands considers denying the Holocaust as a hate crime — which is a punishable offence. In the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell , the government of Oceania continually revises historical records to concord with the contemporary political explanations of The Party.

When Oceania is at war with Eurasia , the public records newspapers, cinema, television indicate that Oceania has been always at war with Eurasia; yet, when Eurasia and Oceania are no longer fighting each other, the historical records are subjected to negationism; thus, the populace are brainwashed to believe that Oceania and Eurasia always have been allies against Eastasia. The protagonist of the story, Winston Smith , is an editor in the Ministry of Truth , responsible for effecting the continual historical revisionism that will negate the contradictions of the past upon the contemporary world of Oceania.

He who controls the past, controls the future", and so illustrates the principal, ideological purpose of historical negationism. Franz Kurowski was an extremely prolific right-wing German writer who dedicated his entire career to the production of Nazi military propaganda, followed by post-war military pulp fiction and revisionist histories of World War II , claiming the humane behaviour and innocence of war crimes of the Wehrmacht , glorifying war as a desirable state, while fabricating eyewitness reports of atrocities allegedly committed by the Allies, especially Bomber Command and the air raids on Cologne and Dresden as a planned genocide of the civilian population.

Bartov is John P. These scholars make a distinction between historical revisionism and denial. Revisionism, in their view, entails a refinement of existing knowledge about a historical event, not a denial of the event itself, that comes through the examination of new empirical evidence or a reexamination or reinterpretation of existing evidence. Denial, on the other hand, rejects the entire foundation of historical evidence ISBN " Pierre Vidal-Naquet urges that denial of the Holocaust should not be called 'revisionism' because 'to deny history is not to revise it'.

Les Assassins de la Memoire. It is not intended as a polemic, nor does it attempt to ascribe motives. Rather, it seeks to explain the fundamental error in the "revisionist" approach, as well as why that approach of necessity leaves no other choice. It concludes that "revisionism" is a misnomer because the facts do not accord with the position it puts forward and, more importantly, its methodology reverses the appropriate approach to historical investigation In short, "revisionism" denies something that demonstrably happened, through methodological dishonesty. Retrieved 15 August One of the more insidious and dangerous aspects of contemporary Holocaust denial, a la Arthur Butz, Bradley Smith and Greg Raven, is the fact that they attempt to present their work as reputable scholarship under the guise of 'historical revisionism.

In fact, Holocaust denial is in no sense 'revisionism,' it is denial Contemporary Holocaust deniers are not revisionists — not even neo-revisionists. They are Deniers. Their motivations stem from their neo-nazi political goals and their rampant antisemitism. Retrieved 29 March Holocaust deniers often refer to themselves as 'revisionists', in an attempt to claim legitimacy for their activities. There are, of course, a great many scholars engaged in historical debates about the Holocaust whose work should not be confused with the output of the Holocaust deniers.

Debate continues about such subjects as, for example, the extent and nature of ordinary Germans' involvement in and knowledge of the policy of genocide, and the timing of orders given for the extermination of the Jews. However, the valid endeavour of historical revisionism, which involves the re-interpretation of historical knowledge in the light of newly emerging evidence, is a very different task from that of claiming that the essential facts of the Holocaust, and the evidence for those facts, are fabrications. Retrieved 16 May In future we should describe him as an author. Irving was the author of his own downfall , The Independent , 25 February But if we mean by historian someone who is concerned to discover the truth about the past, and to give as accurate a representation of it as possible, then Irving is not a historian.

Those in the know, indeed, are accustomed to avoid the term altogether when referring to him and use some circumlocution such as 'historical writer' instead. Irving is essentially an ideologue who uses history for his own political purposes; he is not primarily concerned with discovering and interpreting what happened in the past, he is concerned merely to give a selective and tendentious account of it in order to further his own ideological ends in the present. The true historian's primary concern, however, is with the past. That is why, in the end, Irving is not a historian. Irving jailed for denying Holocaust , The Guardian , 21 February Bukhari contacted the discredited historian, sentenced this year to three years in an Austrian prison for Holocaust denial, after reading his website.

She is the author of two books about the Holocaust. For example, why ought we include David Irving in a debate aiming to establish the truth about the Holocaust, after a court has found that he manipulates and misinterprets history? This of course discredited his reputation as a historian. On 11 April, High Court judge Charles Gray ruled against Irving, concluding that he qualified as a Holocaust denier and anti-Semite, and that as such he distorted history to defend his hero, Adolf Hitler.
