The genocide happened because Armenia supports the ethic Armenians in the area and their desire to separate from Azerbaijan people.  The Soviet army that attacked was made up of Armenians.

The Armenian Genocide is true, the Genocides of two other groups of people took place at the same time---the Assyrians and the Greeks. 750,000 innocent Assyrian Christians and close to 2 million Greeks and Armenians died simply because they were Christian. If Armenians did kill the Turks, why did the Turks have ANY right to kill the Assyrian and Greeks? They were incapable of military advances, so why did they perish? My great-grandparents migrated from southern Turkey to northern Iraq in fear of being slaughtered.  It just is not fair and people need to realize and recognize that the Genocides occurred, I know because I'm living proof.

I have friends from there...great people!\n\nThe Republic of Armenia, or Armenia, is a landlocked Eurasian country in the Caucasus region, bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, Azerbaijan to the east, and Iran and the Nakhichevan exclave of Azerbaijan to the south. Armenia is a member of the Council of Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States and for centuries has been on the crossroads between the east and west.\nIn AD 301, Armenia became the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as its official state religion, twelve years before the Roman Empire granted Christianity official toleration under Galerius, and some 30-40 years before Constantine was baptised. There had been various pagan communities before Christianity, but they were converted by an influx of Christian missionaries.\n\nUnder the rule of the Ottoman Empire, the Armenians and the Turkish majority lived in relative harmony. However, as the Ottoman Empire began to collapse and World War I began, a large proportion of Armenians living in Anatolia perished as a result of what is termed the Armenian Genocide. The events of 1915 to 1917 are regarded by Armenians and the vast majority of Western historians to have been state-sponsored mass killings.\n\nThe capital is Yerevan, population: 2,982,904 \nlanguage: Armenian \nIndependence from the Soviet Union:\n - Declared (August 23, 1990)\n - Established (September 21, 1991)

A list for the Zionist massacres in Palestine from 1955 to 1994.\n\n\n\n\n74 - "Gaza" Massacre - 5 April 1956\n\nOn 5/4/1956, the Zionist invaders blasted with 120-mm mortars the center of the populated city of Gaza, which also housed a large number of refugees. The enemy artillery also bombarded the villages of "Deir Al-Balah", "Absan" and "Khaza'a". The casualties were 60 martyrs, including 27 women, 29 men and four children, and 93 injured, including 32 women, 53 men and 8 children.(96)\n\n75 - "Gaza" Massacre - 15 April 1956\n\nOn 15/4/1956, the Zionists blasted Gaza Hospital with artillery. The brutal bombardment killed 13 children, 18 women and 31 men, and injured 82, including 26 children, 25 women and 31 men.(97)\n\n76 - "Qalqilya" Massacre - 10 October 1956\n\nQalqilya is a Palestinian Arab town, 16 kilometers southwest of the city of Tulkarm.\n\nThe Massacre: On 10/10/1956, a Zionist force estimated at an infantry battalion and an armored battalion backed by field artillery and ten fighter-planes attacked the town from three directions. The attackers cut the telephone lines and mined some roads. The attack was foiled thanks to the fierce resistance of the town's National Guard and the residents, which astonished the enemy. However, the enemy attackers returned once more following an intensive bombardment, in which fighter-planes took part. The Zionists then entered the town firing haphazardly without distinction. They also blew up some houses over the heads of their occupants. The massacre resulted in 70 martyrs, including many women, children and elderly peop1e.(98)\n\n77 - "Kafr Qassem" Massacre - 29 October 1956\n\nKafr Kassem is a Palestinian Arab village in the district of Tulkarm. It had a population of 1460; its area was 58 donums, and its land area was 12765 donums.\n\nThe Massacre: On 29/10/1956, the day the tripartite aggression started against Egypt, the Zionist officer Shmuel Milinki, a commander of a unit of the 'border guards', was ordered to impose a curfew on some villages, including Kafr Qassem. Milinki informed his officers that the war had started and he explained to them the duties assigned to them, namely to implement the curfew order firmly without any arrests. He told them: "it is desirable to have some of the village inhabitants killed". A detachment of this unit was stationed at the western entrance of the village, while other detachments were deployed around and inside the village.\n\nAt 4.30 PM, the village headman was summoned to be informed about the curfew order to go into effect at 5.00 PM. He was asked to notify the village inhabitants. The headman replied that some of the villagers work in their fields outside the village, and therefore, the half hour left is not enough to pass the word about the curfew. The unit officer gave his word and that of the government to the headman promising safe passage to all the returning villagers.\n\nFew minutes before 5.00 PM, the massacre started from the western side of the village (99). In other words, the massacre started prior to sunset and continued for over seven hours until half hour after midnight. Lieutenant 'Gabriel Dahan' had ordered his men to open fire in order to kill any person who would be outside his home after 5.00 PM, with no distinction between the men, women or children returning to their villages. Killing started in batches. The soldiers ordered the villagers to stand in one line. Corporal "Shalom Ofer" shouted "Mow them down". Entire families were killed, other villagers were killed on their carts, others while on foot. The murderers killed 14 women in one lot. Children and old persons were not spared. The toll of the massacre was 49 martyrs (100). Among the children were eleven boys 112 to 16 years old. Two boys were killed while grazing the sheep with one of their relatives. Three girls 12-14 years old w

The Ottoman Turks killed 3 million Christians between the years of 1914-1923. The Turks to this day have not accepted the Genocide of Assyrians, Armenians, and Greeks. They also have turned ancient churches into mosques, and even turned an Assyrian church into a porn cinema. Although most Turks are friendly people, many are prejudice towards Christians.

Up to 45,000 people have died and a further 500,000 are homeless after the devastating earthquake which ripped through Armenia, official figures revealed today. \n\nSpitak, a town of 25,000 inhabitants, has been completely destroyed and cannot be rebuilt - a new city will have to be built over the wreckage.

It was predominantly the Turks.  They viewed the Armenians as inferior and heretical because they practiced Christianity rather than Islam.

I believe that Armenia came to the aid of an enclave of Armenians living in Azerbaijan territory but ended up occupying an area that was mostly Azeri.  \n\nHowever I'm speculating all the way from Canada and I'm sure that they don't tell me the whole story.  I would love to come and see for myself but I can't afford to right now.\n\nMaybe you could tell us your side of the story.  I would like to hear it.

Just exactly what is your point ?Are you saying that the newspapers and TV should mention everywhere where a large number of people were killed  whenever any one of them is mentioned.\n    Who would take time to read an article about Armenia if the newspaper had to give equal space to all other atrocities that happened all over the world through the ages.\n    Take the holocaust, for instance, if some new peice of information came up that you might want to read, should the newapaper be forced to hide it in a full review of all the other atrocities that have ever occured, to be sure one isn't getting too much exposure ?

of course,unfortunately,it is a big and discreditable armenian lie,but this accusation is not for all armenian people.because it became a way of earning money of armenian diaspora.this diaspora provoke innocent armenian people and want them to donate for its genocide purposefully activities.it is really sad to see an organization like armenian diaspora in 21st century.even this diaspora once established a terrorist group called asala to kill turkish diplomats as they established tashnak and hincak to kill innocent turkish muslim ciitizens.using armenian people as a toy by imperialistic countries was started in 1915 by russia.because russia wanted to destroy ottoman control in the Caucaus and the balkans.the only way to achieve this was to make begin a mutiny by minorities and unfortinately armenian minority who lived together with their muslim neighbors was chosen for this terrible purpose.russian goverment provoked armenian people and leaded terrorist groups like tashnak and hincak which were planned to destroy muslim villages and kill innocent people.then ottoman goverment wanted to move a lot of armenian communities to syria to stop this chaos(it would be so silly to move muslim communities because ottomans are muslims).and most of the 300,000 armenian people died because of the terrible conditions of way and some attacks of small turkish groups.and the big lie starts here there were only 200,000-300,000 armenian people in anatolia according to original ottoman articles.but armenian lie says that they killed 1 million armenian people(even some crazy says 2 milllion!!).ok if we accept the idea there were 1 million armenians then why armenian diaspora and historians couldnt prove this by armenian historical articles and they avoid from arguing this with turkish historians.yes unfortunately big lie is realized easily here.i say unfortunately because armenian people really need to work to improve their poor country-armenia,not work to prove a lie-that really doesnt work.and my last words:unesco wanted to put censorship to a historical turkish exhibition in paris,because there were original ottoman articles who can openly deduce this lie and second armenian diaspora wanted to ban a tv program which was wanted to be shown on an american tv channel,and this program's purpose was to meet armenian and turkish historians!!
