However, for decades, knowledge about this genocide that had hundreds of thousands of victims was generally unknown. One of the reasons for this lack of public recognition was the continual disunity among the various groups, which hindered the formulation of a coherent narrative of genocide. Only in the late 20th century did activists succeed in spreading a narrative, now known as the Sayfo. After the turn of the century, scholarly research came to support the claims of activists. This chapter describes this process.
