Popis:	Turkey has faced increasing political pressure regarding the ‘recognition of the Armenian Genocide’, presented as an issue of ‘coming to terms with history’ and further democratisation. This article attempts to analyze the impact of external pressure for the ‘recognition of the Armenian Genocide’ in Turkey by examining the views of leading commentators, who represent different political standpoints. Among the commentators, opinions diverge to a great deal with regard to the ‘Armenian issue’, democratisation and European integration. Indeed, the only point that nearly all these intellectuals agree about is the uselessness of external pressure. Both in terms of the external pressure and internal responses, there is a clear instrumental use of the issue for other purposes. Although space for free discussion of the Armenian issue has expanded in Turkey, external interventions have fed reactionary nationalism, hindered dialogue between Turks and Armenians and limited developments in the democratisation process.
