The article reveals the question of how the Denial of the Armenian Genocide disturbs the mourning process in its survivors and descendants. This setback might psychologically explain certain transformational phenomena in the Armenian society. The Denial of the Armenian Genocide makes the genocide perfect: those dead have disappeared, they have never existed, and therefore, those unrecognized deaths disturb the relationship between the survivors and their historical past.
According to the unconscious function of secrets and traumas, the existence of which is totally ignored, in third generations may develop affective inconsistent behaviours, problems unsolved in previous generations that are transmitted like psychological inheritance.
In Armenian phenomena, the normal mourning process has been disrupted and the permanent Denial of the Armenian Genocide establishes the consequences of the trauma from generation to generation such as unconscious feelings of guilt, repetitions and impulses that lead to reactions like accidents or suicides and psychosomatic and mental disorders.
