[edit] Controversies
McCarthy is known for his controversial challenge of the view that there was an Armenian Genocide.[1]
He was also one of four scholars who participated in a debate hosted by PBS over the veracity of the genocide. Television critic Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times commented on McCarthy's condescending behavior during the program and the ease at which his arguments were countered by humanities professor Peter Balakian and Ottoman historian Taner Akçam.[1]
