Did Türkiye commit genocide in Armenia and kill 1 million people? This is what the Holocaust Encyclopedia says
Armenian genocide refers to the Ottoman Empire, which lived in Turkey, who killed approximately one million Armenian Christians in the spring of 2015 to the fall of 2016. At that time, about 1.5 million Armenian Christians lived in the country.
Ankara-Isamabad nexus was exposed when Türkiye and Azerbaijan openly joined hands with Islamabad to support terrorism after India hid terrorists in Pakistan. Its position reveals that Pakistan is the only member of the United Nations that does not recognize Armenia. Nor does this realize that in the first Holocaust in the 20th century, more than one million Christians were killed in Armenia by Turkey.
What is Armenian genocide?
Genocide refers to the killing of approximately one million Armenian Christians between the spring of 2015 and the autumn of 2016. At that time, about 1.5 million Armenian Christians lived in the country, and the number of people who died during this period ranged from 660,000 to 1.2 million to 1.2 million.
(The Ottoman Empire expelled Armenian Christians with great numbers in 2015-2016.)
According to the Holocaust Encyclopedia, the Ottoman government of the Union and Progress Committee or the young Turks wanted to consolidate Muslims’ dominance in the Anatolian region. They carried out genocide with the help of auxiliary forces and Christian-hate civilians. It originated from World War I because the Ottoman Empire was worried that the Armenians might join the enemy because they wanted to end the empire. The Ottoman Empire wanted to expel these people in large quantities.
Armenian Christian deportation
If the Holocaust Encyclopedia is believed, the government ordered the deportation of Armenian Christians from all over the country, regardless of the distance to the combat zone. Many people were killed due to hunger, dehydration, exposure and disease. They died in the deserts of the southern empire, including today’s northern and eastern Syria, northern Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
Henry Morgenthau Sr., the U.S. Ambassador to Constantinople, attempted to sympathize with the Armenians. Ultimately, great attempts of sympathy and charity were generated throughout the United States. President Woodrow Wilson, Hollywood celebrities and thousands of American citizens joined it. Armenians received $110 million in welfare.
Pakistan does not know Armenia
Türkiye never accepted genocide, it said these people were killed in the war. It never acknowledged the role of the Ottoman Empire. Pakistan follows Türkiye’s footsteps and rejects genocide. Genocide is the main cause of hostility between Armenia and Türkiye today. This is also a region where Pakistan does not recognize the situation in Armenia. Naturally, Yerevan seeks help from India.
