Why did the world ignore the Armenian genocide?
not all of the world ignored the Armenian genocide, infact there are many countries who believe the Armenian genocide happened (which is great) only some of the major countries (like U.S.A) stilll don't believe that the genocide happened, because Turkey is one of the major countries of the world and America is friends with them, so i guess that's why they ignored the Armenian genocide, plus, people are saying " It happened already! Why do we have to care about something that happened in 1915?!" Well, I'll tell you why, this genocide led to many genocides that were influenced by the Ottoman Empire, Like the Jewish Genocide, and Darfur, And Rwanda. It's all about power, and Turkey is powerful.
What major event shaped Armenia?
The Armenian genocide shaped armenia because some of the land in Turkey used to be Armenia
How much land does Turkey owe to Armenia?
The issue of land owed by Turkey to Armenia is tied to the historical events of the Armenian Genocide. Armenia and some other countries believe Turkey should return territories lost during that time, but Turkey denies that any land is owed. The specific amount of land in question is a matter of ongoing debate and dispute.
What government allowed the Armenian genocide to happen?
The Armenian Genocide was thought, designed and executed by the Ottoman Empire government. The European , as well as the US government were the witnesses of these tragedy. Actually there are overwhelming evidence about this in the archives of foreign ministeries of these countries. They helped in small ways - like opening orphanages, small hospitals, several French and British ships saved some groups.
Why is the Armenian genocide not considered a genocide by some people?
Most people around the world do consider the Armenian genocide to be a genocide. However, there are some opinions that run counter to this mainstream view, especially in Turkey where successive Turkish governments deny it and have jailed those who say otherwise. Turkey has also made declaring the Armenian Genocide to be a genocide to be economically disadvantageous to any nation which openly states it, preventing many nations from coming out against it. The Turkish position, and the position of those who believe similarly, hold that a genocide has two components. The first necessary component of a genocide is the singling out of one or more races for worse treatment than the remainder of the population. This worse treatment must be harsh enough to be considered repressive or oppressive and not merely having fewer rights. Most Turks acknowledge that the Armenians faced incredible hardship during their forced relocations and evictions that would satisfy this requirement. The second necessary component of a genocide is the intent and execution of a plan to eliminate the singled out race from the planet or, barring that, from any territory claimed by the genocidal power. This is where Turks often say that the Armenian case falls short. While Turkish soldiers were unconscionably brutish, belligerent, and murderous, there was never a top-down order or insinuation that the Armenians should be exterminated. The fact that many died was due to the appalling conditions under which the forced relocations and exodus were performed. This view does not acquit Turkey of its actions, but puts it in the same ballpark as the Trail of Tears in the 1820s in the United States: an atrocity that is not quite a genocide. As noted before, this view, namely that the Armenian genocide is not a genocide is a minority view. Most claim that there is sufficient documentation to establish that the Ottoman Empire intended to exterminate the Armenian people (and thus fulfill the second necessary component of a genocide). The massacres that followed were in accordance with those orders.
Which of the following empires murdered over one million Armenians and hundreds of thousands of Greeks?
Answer this question… Ottoman Empire
Who were the killers in the genocide?
Sad to say, there have been many genocides throughout history. In modern times, some of them were the Holocaust (when the Nazis, led by Adolph Hitler, murdered 6 million Jews); the Armenian genocide (perpetrated by the Turks), and the Rwandan genocide (when Rwanda's Hutu majority slaughtered millions of members of the Tutsi minority).
How would you describe the cruel killing of 1.5 million people because of their race and religion. Do you accept a fact of Armenian Genocide?
Without a shadow shadow of doubt, the word is genocide. However, for some reason successive Turkish governments have lacked the moral courage to accept this. Instead, they have persecuted those who 'call a spade a spade'.
Can you name some Armenian magazines?
Sure! Some Armenian magazines include "Armenian Weekly," "Nor Haratch," and "Armenian Reporter."
What is an example of a genocide besides the Holocaust?
Other examples include the massacres of the Tutsis by the Hutus in Rwanda in 1994. the genocide of the Armenians by the Ottoman Turks in 1915-1917 - but one can be jailed in modern Turkey for talking about the latter.
