A total of 1.5 million Armenians were killed beginning in 1915, in a systematic campaign by the collapsing Ottoman Empire, historic fact which today's Turkey keeps on denying. In 2006 Turkey severed military ties with France after its Parliament voted to make the denial of the Armenian genocide a crime, today the European Parliament plus a total of 26 countries recognize the existence of such an Armenian genocide, including Argentina, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, France, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Portugal, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Venezuela and the Vatican.
