Review the passages.
The lie of the “Armenian genocide” was first invented in 1915 by the imperialists of England, France, and Tsarist Russia, who wanted to divide the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. – Turkish politician Doug Perincek, 2005
Today I shall call this Armenian genocide. I think that we, the US government, owe you, our fellow citizens, a more straightforward and honest discussion of this problem. I can tell you as a person who has studied this problem—I have no doubts about what happened. I think that it is inappropriate for us, the Americans, to play with words in this case. – US Ambassador to Armenia, John Evans, 2005

Answer 2

A) is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

During Ottoman Empire thousands of Armenians were killed during first world war, from 1915 to 1923. Historians recognize that genocide happened but Turkish government is still denying it. Armenian Genocide Recognition is the formal acceptance of it by various countries. Countries like Brazil, Canada, France, Germany and Italy openly accept it but US is still adamant. Although there is acceptance of the events at the State level but it is still missing at national level. The US ambassador's words in the above paragraph confirms that US is unwilling to accept and also that Turkey and US agree regarding the question of genocide.
