The Armenian Genocide
The Armenian Genocide
The Armenian Genocide was the systematic mass-killing and annihilation of over 1.5 million Armenian people perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire (modern-day Turkey) in 1915-1923. This was the culmination of centuries of systematic violence against this Christian population, including discriminatory laws, massacres, and forced displacements, escalating during World War I. Until today, Turkey denies the Armenian Genocide. In May 2020, Turkish President Erdoğan used the insult “the leftovers of the sword” when referring to Genocide survivors. Check out this 22-minute video to understand what led to the Armenian Genocide, what it entailed, and how it is relevant to Artsakh and the Armenian struggle today.
