Yusuf Halaçoğlu (born 10 May 1949, in Kozan, Adana) is a Turkish historian and politician.

[7] He places the number of deaths during the deportations, which he calls "forced relocations", at no higher than 9,000-10,000 (as opposed to the 600,000 to 1,500,000 that is widely stated by those who acknowledge the genocide).

[6] His views are parallel to the official Turkish state thesis according to which the massacres and death marches did not constitute genocide.

[8] In 2008 Halaçoğlu was dismissed from his post as the head of the Turkish Historical Society for his controversial claims about Armenians and Kurds.

[11][1] In 2007, Halaçoğlu claimed that he had a list of crypto-Armenians living in Turkey and threatened to publish it.
