In what year and city did the Armenian massacre by the Turks take place?

Answer 1

The Armenian Genocide, also known as the Armenian Holocaust, Great Calamity or the Armenian Massacre — refers to the forced mass evacuation and related deaths of hundreds of thousands or over a million Armenians, during the government of the Young Turks from 1915 to 1917 in the Ottoman Empire

Answer 2

Justin McCarthy, a professor of history at the University of Louisville:

The plan of the Armenian Nationalists has not changed in more than 100 years. It is to create an Armenia in Eastern Anatolia and the Southern Caucasus, regardless of the wishes of the people who live there. The Armenian Nationalists have made their plan quite clear. First, the Turkish Republic is to state that there was an "Armenian Genocide" and to apologize for it. Second, the Turks are to pay reparations. Third, an Armenian state is to be created.
If the Armenians were to be given what they claim, and if every Armenian in the world were to come to Eastern Anatolia, their numbers would still be only half of the number of those Turkish citizens who live there now. Of course, the Armenians of California, Massachusetts, and France would never come in great numbers to Eastern Anatolia. The population of the new "Armenia" would be less than one-fourth Armenian at best. Could such a state long exist? Yes, it could exist, but only if the Turks were expelled. That was the policy of the Armenian Nationalists in 1915. It would be their policy tomorrow.
We should be very clear on Armenian claims. Their claims are not based on history, because Armenians have not ruled in Eastern Anatolia for more than 900 years. Their claims are not based on culture: Before the revolutionaries and the Russians destroyed all peace, the Armenians and Turks shared the same culture. Armenians were integrated into the Ottoman system, and most of the Armenians spoke Turkish. They ate the same food as the Turks, shared the same music, and lived in the same sorts of houses. The Armenian claims are surely not based on a belief in democracy: Armenians have not been a majority in Eastern Anatolia for centuries, and they would be a small minority there now. Their claims are based on their nationalist ideology. That ideology is unchanging. It was the same in 1895 and 1915 as it is in 2005. They believe there should be an "Armenia" in Eastern Turkey-no matter the history, no matter the rights of the people who live there.
History teaches that the Armenian Nationalists will not stop their claims if the Turks forget the truth and say there was an Armenian Genocide. They will not cease to claim Erzurum and Van because the Turks have apologized for a crime they did not commit. No. They will increase their efforts. They will say, "The Turks have admitted they did it. Now they must pay for their crimes." The same critics who now say the Turks should admit genocide will say the Turks should pay reparations. Then they will demand the Turks give Erzurum and Van and Elazig and Sivas and Bitlis and Trabzon to Armenia.
I know the Turks will not give in to this pressure. The Turks will not submit, because they know that to do so would simply be wrong. How can it be right to become a member of an organization that demands you lie as the price of admission? Would any honest man join an organization that said, "You can only join us if you first falsely say that your father was a murderer?"
I hope and trust that the European Union will reject the demands of the Armenian Nationalists. I hope they will realize that the Armenian Nationalists are not concerned with what is best for Europe. But whatever the European Union demands, I have faith in the honor of the Turks. What I know of the Turks tells me that they will never falsely say there was an Armenian Genocide. I have faith in the honesty of the Turks. I know that the Turks will resist demands to confess to a crime they did not commit, no matter the price of honesty. I have faith in the integrity of the Turks. I know that the Turks will not lie about this history. I know that the Turks will never say their fathers were murderers. I have that faith in the Turks.

Answer 3

There are some reasons for that. The Armenians are not innocent babies here.

To the some ignorance people, who doesn't know the meanings of some words:

The word genocide means The systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group.

Did Turks did it, No. Did Armenians die, Yes. But how and why? Many armenians died that is true; but it was just after they were done killing, raping and torturing Turkish and Kurdish people with the power they took from the Russians who invaded North east part of Ottoman Empire. After Russians were kicked out, the armenians who betrayed their own country were forced to live by government, but the other peoples who were murdered raped and tortured wanted their revenge and unleashed their wrath upon the leaving armenians; so it was not the government who did it, if anything they tried to protect the armenians. It was the other comman peoples who were also citizen of Ottoman Empire. so it is not genocide it is a civil war and armenians started it. There are still mass graveyards being found in the eastern Turkey that are done by renegade armenians of the time. In Turkey, people do SPEAK and ACCEPT that armenians died but it was not done by the government and also the regular people know that armenians asked for it. And if you look for the explanations of actual "HISTORIANS" they also accept that fact not the ones accepted by lobbied "politicians" of the world.

Answer 4

It took place after the Armenians cheated the Turks. They killed thousands of Turks, Azeris and Kurds with the trust to the power of Russia. When Ottoman Empire kicked out the Russians then it was the time to take revenge of this poor and sneaky armenians. By kicking out of the lands of the Ottoman Empire, this bloody armenians died on road. Who killed them? The people whos children, whos mothers, whos wifes, whos brothers or sisters were killed by armenians.

Is it massacre? or is it genocide?

Man, I say "IT IS JUSTÄ°CE"

Answer 5

In which year and cities did the massacre of Azeris, Kurds and Turks by Armenians took place?

Answer 6

It started around 1915. Now the Turkish governent wants to be a part of the European Union but the EU won't let them in unless the Turks admit to the Armenian Genocide

Answer 7

The Turks DID kill 750,000 Assyrians, 1,000,000 Greeks and Armenians. I am LIVING PROOF, how can you people denounce such a horrific event. It is the equivalent of all of you denouncing the Holocaust. Assyrians were innocently murdered for being Christian, do NOT state this never happened, my ancestors had to endure with the agony which was enforced by the Turks. Never deny!! Turkey needs to face the facts.

Answer 8

Hi friend,

As an Armenian I can't accept your question. Noone killed us and noone can kill us. We killed the 100thousands of f**** Turks there. My grandfather and grandmother told me that we killed the babies, the woman..etc. etc all of the Turks at WWI in the eastern regions of Turkey. Than unfortunately they took revenge from us. But I think that this revenge was unfair. The Turks should give their lands to us.

Answer 9

from 1914 to 1918 Turks caused the massacre not only of about 1.500.000 Armenians but also of about 1.000.000 Greeks from Pontus and about 750.000 Assyrians they are responsible for three genocides,and not even an apology from their part

Answer 10

Actually, the first one was from 1914 to 1922, and it was done in all of the Ottoman Empire. They still kill Armenians and Kurds
