Why is Turkey so opposed to the phrase Armenian Genocide?

by IvankasPantyLiner

DISCLAIMER: I’m not sure if this is the appropriate sub, but I suspect there are plenty of people here that know a lot about this.

The events are well documented. Is this akin to Holocaust denial? Why is Turkey so adamant about these events being called a genocide? What do they call it?

There is a section in the FAQ that covers the Armenian Genocide.
