How did the Armenian Genocide end?

Question

I'm really cluless how it ended...like, what happened at the end of it? What did Armenia/Turkey do? HOW did it end?

Answer 1

Some short and simple answers to your simple questions:
1- Something which did not take place cannot end.
2- In 1915 (World War I) Russia attacked the Ottoman Empire.
3- Ottoman citizens of Armenian origin allied with the Russians and shot Turkish soldiers from behind.
4- Same Armenian gangs massacred whole villages of Turks, mostly women and children in eastern Anatolia.
5- The Ottoman Government, fearing a retaliation and trying to ensure the security of the Ottoman Army, ordered the Armenians to be deported to a safer place.
6- Under the conditions of the time, thousands of Armenians died during this forced travel.
7- The word genocide was not used nor was Turkey accused of it until 1970s (and then by the USSR).
8- The number of Armenians who died at that time was first said to be around 400,000.
9- As the Armenian diaspora received 'support' from some western politicians (hoping to get Armenian votes), the number gradually was raised up to 1,500,000!!!
10- Good propaganda and lobbying ensured some 'acknowledgement' of the so called genocide by some European countries.
11- An Armenian terrorist organization called Asala, murdered a lot of Turkish diplomats in various countries during 1970s and 80s.
12- It is interesting to note that during this so called genocide, thousands of Armenians (Ottoman citizens) enjoyed full rights and lived safely and happily elsewhere in the Empire, especially in cities like Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa, Adana, etc.
Please check the definition of genocide and decide for yourself.

Answer 2

Oh I like Mr. Beemer's answer's too, very very much! But if you have time just read the following you won't regret , promiss...! The genocide of the Armenians by the Turkish government during World War I represents a major tragedy of the modern age. In this first genocide of the 20th century, almost an entire nation was destroyed. The Armenian people were effectively eliminated from the homeland they had occupied for nearly three thousand years. This annihilation was premeditated and planned to be carried out under the cover of war. see what happened to the perpetrator: One of the paradoxical characteristics of all genocides is the great harm done to the society of the s. The destruction of the Armenians deprived Turkey of the skilled manpower that dominated trade, industry, banking and the professions. The depopulation of vital farmland and the elimination of the professional and artisan classes caused immeasurable harm to the war effort of the Central Powers. German officers grumbled that the munitions provided to fight the Entente were being wasted on the Armenians, and that the Turks showed more enthusiasm for fighting their internal "enemies" than their external ones. The remaining Turkish and Kurdish populations lacked the developed skills and drive of the Armenian farmers, and Eastern Turkey was reduced to the wasteland that it is today. The field of unburied Armenian bodies caused outbreaks of cholera and typhus that killed thousands of Turks and Kurds in the area and Arabs in Syria. The economic disaster resulting from the Armenian deaths created problems that persist to this date. These consequences were acceptable to the Young Turks, who viewed them as short term problems that would eventually be resolved. Even defeat in the war was acceptable as the price for permanently ending the Armenian Question. Great Turan could never be created if the Armenians existed. The Armenian Genocide was a methodical, premeditated evil plan to advance the goal of Pan-Turanism in the most cold-blooded fashion. Given the lack of response by Western powers to earlier massacres, the Young Turks safely assumed that there would be few long-term consequences of their crimes. From their point of view, the Armenian Genocide was a stunning success politically, economically and demographically. But for us Armenian, it is not over, never will be over.... How can it be over there are people like me whose ancestors were killed their houses where destroyed or occupied and and and..... Me and so many like me are scattered around the world, we should have been living in our Van, other cities or our villages and lands, in our country, but instead we are denied of all that. No... It will go on forever the effects are to much strong.

Answer 3

The Russians attacked the Ottoman Empire. The empire was overthrown, the GENOCIDE was real anything that results with 1.5 million people dead is significant and should be recognised

Answer 4

Please do not listen to these idiots who claim the genocide never happened. They estimate between 400,000 and 850,000 Armenians were killed, my family members included. There are photographs depicting the death marches and eye witnesses that saw thousands of people being killed whether it was drowning them in the middle of the Dead Sea or provisioning them. Italians saw, Germans saw, Russians saw, there is no denying what happened.

The Young Turks were eventually overthrown and the new government said it would punish those who killed. Russia, Germany, and other European countries came together and condemned what happened and basically said they expected those criminals to be held accountable.

Answer 5

To those of you that say that the Armenian genocide did not take place, you are ignorant and neglecting the facts. It is extremely small-minded and insensitive of you all to say that something did not take place, when you do not have ancestors that have died in it. My great grandfather escaped it after his father dying. My great grandfather did not lie about what he witnessed. Those of you who support Turkey, congratulations, you support a country that did something awful and now simply calls it "deportation". Either way, you all cannot ignore the countless genocide victims that have come forward and spoken about the terrors they faced in Armenia after 1915.

Answer 6

The Young Turks were overthrown and the new Turkish government ended it and brought some of those responsible to justice. Others were assassinated by vengeful Armenians. But most were not tried for crimes.

Answer 7

I' m not aware of the exact facts of that incident. However, according to some opinions, also stated in this thread by, apparently Turks or Turkish-side supporters, there were 400.000 deaths during that series of deportations. And, I think, it's stupid to insist that this was something "not planned", which happened "by luck", during a, so called, genuine humanitarian effort of the Turkish officials to relocate a group of rebels. I think Turkish unwillingness to recognize this incident, among some other similar cases during modern Turkish history, is the main reason that the majority of the European public opinion is so negative towards Turkey and its people. You may think it's your religion or your descendance, but I think the main problem is Turkey's human rights records and acceptance of the democratic values. And trying to hide the Armenian Genocide problem under the carpet will always be the first thing Turkey will be blamed for.

Answer 8
