Today, whilst the Armenian Genocide is recognized as one of the first genocides of the 20th Century is seen as a seminal event of the First World War, it has by-and-large been overshadowed by the brutality of the Holocaust and the likewise war crimes of WWII; to the point in which a number of countries are yet to officially recognize it as such, with many more people outright rejecting the idea that it even was a genocide.

It is possible, though, for the death marches and massacres of the Armenians (as well as Assyrians, Greeks, and other anti-Ottomans) to be just as well recognize as the Holocaust is in OTL; at least in the Western World? Could the enforcement of the Treaty of Sevres and an actual trial of the Three Pashas (and the members of the Special Organization) see greater representation of the Genocide in media?

Also; what would have to happen for Turkey itself to recognize the genocide; in the same way Germany did the Holocaust after the end of WWII?
