This was the first Holocaust of the 20th century. In 1915 the Turkish government decided to wipe out the whole Armenian nation because some armenians joined the russians in WW1.
they massacred many armenians and destroyed their villages others were taken on forced marches until they died from disease, hunger and thirst.
The Turkish government has never admitted this to the present day.
It gave Hitler the idea for his Holocaust against the jews.
In 1940 he said " who will remember the Armenians in 50 years time". That was one prediction he was right about.

Of course they committed genecide there and historically it is proven as well. The singer/actress Cher is a bit Armenian and has helped immensely to restore some of the culture that was brutally abolished over the years. If it wasnt Turkey attacking them it was the Germanic/Britainia Clans as well.
The gypsy traditions were frowned upon for they would not conform to the Muslim or the Christian in the ways they wanted them too. This was tragic in WW2, There were many Armenian Jews that helped to rescue their countryman and succeeded in smuggling some into Greece and Cyprus. But many were slaughtered. However the Armenian was a great source to the underground and worked just as hard as France but had no back up like France did because France had money to trade and Armenia was already robbed from their wealth and their women and children were made into slaves (sexual pleasures for the soldiers), which was so inhumane but this was everywhere that the tyrant ruled in all the cultures at that time for the only culture was the Nazi culture and yet the Catholic Church was allowed to prevail, Ironically enough some Priests of the Franciscan Fathers (Spain) were able to aid some Armenians for they looked upon them as the meek, and they overlooked the ones that were strongly into the gypsy faiths for those are just old world superstitions and they looked to spred the word of Jesus to them too.

There was someone in my class once, an English class, that was the first time I ever heard about it. She was very saddened about that genocide, she lost a lot of her family in that genocide back in WWI. In History, there are a lot of things that have not been recoginized yet, and it would be good if everything was reconized, that way we would have multiple interpretations on one event. Take women for example, many women in Christianity have been disregarded. Mary Magdalene is a good example, she is the one that first saw Jesus after he died on the cross. Mary Magdalene's claim was rejected and instead Peter is the one creditied with seeing Jesus. I'm hoping that not only is the Armenian genocide recognized, but the historic contributions that women have made, that men have left out.

The only part of the world denying that genocide is pretty well Turkey.

I know little about Armenia.

Obviously they are christian mostly and were under Turkish rule.
I'm not even sure why the genocide was undertaken in the first place. It did not seem to happen in other turkish client states.
