• Utah Series in Middle East Studies

Originally named the Utah Series in Turkish and Islamic Studies, this series published books in the area of history, politics, and society of the Middle East. M. Hakan Yavuz was the Series Editor.{{cite web |url=http://content.lib.utah.edu//cdm4/results.php?CISORESTMP=results.php&CISOVIEWTMP=item_viewer.php&CISOMODE=grid&CISOGRID=thumbnail,A,1;title,A,1;creato,A,0;price,200,0;short,A,0;20;title,none,none,none,none&CISOBIB=title,A,1,N;subtit,A,0,N;creato,200,0,N;none,A,0,N;none,A,0,N;20;title,none,none,none,none&CISOTHUMB=20%20(4x5);title,none,none,none,none&CISOTITLE=20;title,none,none,none,none&CISOHIERA=20;subtit,title,none,none,none&CISOSUPPRESS=0&CISOTYPE=link&CISOOP1=all&CISOFIELD1=series&CISOBOX1=Utah+Series+Turkish+Islamic+Studies+&CISOOP2=all&CISOFIELD2=subtit&CISOBOX2=&CISOOP3=all&CISOFIELD3=creato&CISOBOX3=&CISOOP4=all&CISOFIELD4=CISOSEARCHALL&CISOBOX4=&c=all&CISOROOT=%2Fupcat |title= Utah Series in Middle East Studies |publisher=University of Utah Press| date=2011-10-03}} The first book published by the series was Guenter Lewy's The Armenian Massacres in Ottoman Turkey: A Disputed Genocide in 2006; the book had previously been rejected by eleven publishers including four university presses. Since then, the series published many other works that seek to reject the historical consensus that the Armenian genocide was a genocide, by such authors as Justin McCarthy, Edward J. Erickson, and Yücel Güçlü. These books have been criticized for methodological flaws and factual errors.Dr Andrekos Varnava, review of Armenians and the Allies in Cilicia, 1914–1923, (review no. 1419) [http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/review/1419]{{cite journal |last1=Hovannisian |first1=Richard G. |title=Denial of the Armenian Genocide 100 Years Later: The New Practitioners and Their Trade |journal=Genocide Studies International |date=2015 |volume=9 |issue=2 |pages=228–247 |doi=10.3138/gsi.9.2.04}}{{cite book |last1=Suny |first1=Ronald Grigor|author-link=Ronald Grigor Suny |title="They Can Live in the Desert but Nowhere Else": A History of the Armenian Genocide|title-link=They Can Live in the Desert but Nowhere Else |date=2015 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-1-4008-6558-1 |page=375 |language=en |quote=In the past ten years a more sophisticated neo-denialism has emerged, which elaborates the argument that the Armenians were involved in insurrectionary activity that necessitated a counterinsurgency response from the Young Turk government. A number of authors have worked with Professor M. Hakan Yavuz and published works with the University of Utah Press. While there are differences in emphasis and interpretation among their works, these writers are to a large degree sympathetic to the defensive attitudes of Turkish government and military officials, favor evidence and accounts exculpatory of the Young Turk policies, and emphatically reject the notion of genocidal intention.}}
