Armenian Genocide?

Question

Can anyone tell me why the Armenians were targeted by the Turks?

Answer 1

After the war of Balkans Ottoman Empire lost 70% of their European lands to Balkans, So they decided that they can no longer live with Christians (Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians). Armenian Genocide was planned and once the WW1 broke out they went with their secret plan.

250 of Armenian politicians were arrested, later executed. All the weapons were to be handed to the government for the "war", those who didnt have one, they had to buy, the government maked sure there was no more weapons with the Armenians. Then ALL Armenian men were sent to the "army", given shovels to dig a hole, not knowing they were digging their own mass graves. All men were killed there. The villages were left with women, children, and elders. Then the "deportations" started. Women were raped, tortured, killed, children were horrified with the killings, elders were tortured and killed. Some Fedayins were defending their villages, that was not a crime when you are defending innocent people.

Armenia lost 80% of its historical lands to the Ottoman Turks. As of today Turkey does not accept responsibility, It denies That the killings were amounted to Genocide.

Good questions that Turkey will never be able to answer until it accepts the Armenian genocide:

1.What happened to the Armenian population in Turkey, they just disappeared ?
2.Why did the Armenians leave their ancestral homelands and decided to go to Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Greece and most of them died in the deserts.?
3.Why was Hrant Dink shot?
4. Why People cant talk about Armenian Genocide in Turkey, yet Turkey invites Armenia for a debate??
5. Every person that talks about Armenian Genocide is prosecuted, how can you convince the world that the "historians" Turkey has are not Lawyers for the criminal Ottoman Empire?
6. Turkey is very much concerned about the "head scarf"but in the other hand it is supporting Grey Wolfes which is a terrorist organization.
7. Turkey denies that Armenian Genocide ever happened, what about the 300,000 Greeks that were killed, and 100,000 Assyrians that were killed during the same period of time.
8. Kurds were the right hand of the Ottoman Empire and killed many Armenians, but they were told to do so, a soldier must accept orders. Look what is happening now..... they are killing each other.

Answer 2

During the world war, Armenians and Turks were living peacefully in Turkey. Until, one day both the Turks/Armenians started to become a bit hostile towards each other, and the Turkish government couldn't take it anymore. The government transported the Armenians by train to Syria where they wouldn't interfere with the government issues going on in Turkey. Many Armenians died in these train cars though, because of the cold weather in the mountains. Yet, Armenia claims for this to be a genocide and Turks claim this to not be a genocide, because they were only transporting them out of the country.
There were many fatalities, not only by Turks, but also Armenians. It was a WAR, so both sides were easily killed.

On a side note: I truly cannot understand why a school would be letting you talk about this in the first place. Considering that the genocide hasn't been confirmed to be true or false yet.

Answer 3

It is because Otoman turks were losing their land and the only closest Christians they could find were the Armenians to get land from. So the turks gave all their weapons to Armenians to go fight in WW1. then all the turks attacked Armenia knowing that Armenian army was out fighting against germany.

Now you could see many turks above me lying. That's not just here. The turkish government has brainwash them all.

Answer 4

Armenians betrayed Ottoman Empire by cooperating with Czardom Russia to occupy the east of Anatolia. Armenians attacked Turkish villages and slaughtered a lot of innocent people. However, there was no Armenian genocide. Armenians were transferred to Syria to stop their attacks.

EDIT : I do not write to others in my answers but " Soccermaster #10 FORZA ARMENIA! " before starting to write you should know something. Germany was an ally of Ottoman Empire during WWI. Beside, Armenians supported France and Czardom Russia.

EDIT 2 : To Beemer :


1)Armenians were transfered to Syria.
2)They did not decided to leave. Because of their treason,they were transfered.
3)Hrant Dink was shot by a few stupid racists. Beside, we do not support murderers as Armenians do. They support ASALA. Grey wolves is not a terrorist organisation, and they did not kill anybody.
4)People can talk about Armenian claims in Turke, however, nobody can talk about Turkish views on the events in France because of Armenian organizations. After that, they talk about freedom of speech, and how Turkey impedes it on which is a lie.
5)All the historians, I am talking about non-Turkish ones, who has told Armenians claims are false have been attacked, and/or been humiliated by Armenians. Then, they try to blame our historians who invite them to Turkey.
6)I have already given an answer to that. Look at 3. answer.
7)New claims, but no proves as always.
8)This is only a lie. We do not kill each other, but the terrorist organization, PKK, cause problems. And what Turkey try to do is to stop those terrorists.

Answer 5

Can you tell me why Turks were targeted by Armenians as Armenians killed Turkish children, women, men, by taking their eyes off, tying their necks to their knees, by lighting fires on their stomachs, during late Ottoman era?
