-The Turkish government, more specifically the "Young Turk" government, issued an order in 1915 stating that Armenians are a threat to the expansion of the Ottoman Empire. -The Turkish soldiers rounded up 800 Armenian intellectuals and hanged them. -They then broke into houses, abused the women and burned down their homes. -They massacred defenseless men, women and children, and forced them to march all the way to the Syrian deserts. -Many took their own lives. -At the end of 1922, the estimate of Armenian casualties rises to 1.5-2 MILLION Armenians. -This was result of theft of Armenian property and lands (all of eastern Turkey belonged to Armenia before the Genocide). -They changed most of the city's names, for example: Dikranagerd to Diyarbakir. -The Turkish government to this day denies any involvement in the Genocide, even though we have full proof that it did take place. |

To the two idiots above, this is a genocide. People and family are slaughtered. Imagine if your parents were TORN from you and sent to their deaths. You'd "care".
This genocide is a great disaster. Like any genocide, justice must be served. People must pay their debts to the Armenians. |

| Deathrude, don't bother with them. You can't change them. You can't put sheep's skin on a wolf. |

@Gentaurg You are right, but their descendants promote their acts by denying the genocide. They say the last step of genocide is denial. |
