Terms such as "massacre", "killed", "murdered", "slaughtered", "systematic massacre", "extermination", "atrocities", and "war crimes" were used instead of "genocide" during the period, as Raphael Lemkin coined the term "genocide" much later in 1943.[14][2] It was during this time, however, that stereotypes often arose which favored the plight of the Armenians over the Turks.[16] Claims such as the "Terrible Turk" were invented to depict Turks as such during which Armenians were oftentimes depicted as innocent.[17] Such stereotypes have often been considered Anti-Turkish by scholars today.[18]
