Countries have not recognized the Armenian genocide for fear of hurting strategic relationships with the Turkish government.

The Turkish government denies that the events of 1915 constitute a genocide and has actively lobbied against its recognition. This has put pressure on other countries to not recognize it for fear of damaging their strategic and economic relationships with Turkey. Additionally, there is ongoing international debate about whether the events meet the legal definition of genocide, which has also contributed to the lack of recognition.
