FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Armenian corpses by a road, 1915

Armenian genocide denial is the claim that the Ottoman Empire did not commit
genocide against its Armenian citizens during World War I—a crime widely
documented and affirmed by the vast majority of scholars. The perpetrators
denied the genocide as they carried it out; incriminating documents were later
systematically destroyed. Denial has been the policy of every government of the
Republic of Turkey, and rests on the assumption that the "relocation" of
Armenians was a legitimate state action, not deliberate extermination. Deniers
claim the death toll is exaggerated or attribute the deaths to other factors.
Ronald Grigor Suny states that the main argument is "there was no genocide, and
the Armenians were to blame for it". An important reason for this denial is that
the genocide enabled the establishment of a Turkish nation-state; recognition
would contradict Turkey's founding myths. The Turkish state's century-long
denial of the genocide sets it apart from other cases of genocide.

FROM TODAY'S FEATURED LIST

Poster for Loetoeng Kasaroeng

One hundred and twelve films are known to have been produced in the Dutch East
Indies (modern-day Indonesia) between 1926 and the colony's dissolution in 1949.
The earliest motion pictures, imported from abroad, were shown in late 1900, and
by the early 1920s imported serials and fictional films were being shown, often
with localised names. The first locally produced film, Loetoeng Kasaroeng
(poster pictured), was directed by L. Heuveldorp and released on 31 December
1926. Between 1926 and 1933 numerous other local productions were released.
Although Dutchmen like Heuveldorp and G. Krugers continued to be active in the
industry, the majority of filmmakers and producers were ethnic Chinese. The Tan
brothers and The Teng Chun were major producers during this period, while the
Wong brothers were among the more prominent directors. (Full list...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

The crested honey buzzard (Pernis ptilorhynchus), also known as the Oriental
honey buzzard, is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. Its size ranges
from 57 to 60 centimetres (22 to 24 in). The name is derived from its diet,
which consists mainly of the larvae of bees and wasps, extracted from
honeycombs. It has several adaptations for this diet, including an elongated
head for foraging on underground nests and a groove in the tongue for feeding on
honey. A mass of short, dense feathers on the head and neck protect against
stinging attacks by social wasps. The crested honey buzzard is a year-round
resident in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Some birds migrate to
Siberia and Japan during the summer for breeding. This crested honey buzzard was
photographed in Mudumalai National Park, India.
