There are thousands of answers and this often repeated question is becoming tiring. Let me try to help your curiosity: Turks, during the first ww were so bored by having nothing interesting to do, to accomplish in their lives that they have decided, completely out of the blue, to have fun by killing some Armenians?!?Does it make sense? Not so much i’m afraid. Armenians and Turks lived for thousand year in perfect harmony and peacefulness. They were given the title of Milllet-i Sâdıka by the Ottoman Empire and they weren’t soldiers. That means that the Armenians didn’t have to become soldiers and to fight. A privilege given only to Armenians. When Turks arrived to Anatolia, they were helped by Armenians and Armenians fought against Byzance with Turks because despite being Christians, they were badly, unjustly treated by Byzance. At the end of 19th century, Occidental powers decided to use Christian minorities against the ailing empire. France, Russia and all the others used the usual tactics of “Divide and rule”. All of the men being in the army due to the ww, villages were left with women, children and extremely old men. The first years of the war Russians had captured a portion of Turkish territory which was retaken to only find out that Armenians had attacked, raped and then burned mosques with the entire populations in the mosques. Of course the Armenian terrorists had retreated with Russians. Ottoman Empire decided immediately to send the Armenian population of the area to Syria and to evacuate Armenians from the region for security reasons. During their way to Syria, many terrible things occurred such as Armenian women raped, stolen, killed etc. But for sure there wasn’t a hint of genocide. The number of Armenians reaching Syria shows and proves it.By the way, Armenians living in the western part of the empire didn’t have any problem. Strange genocide indeed?!?!? Armenians have started to talk about 150.000 victims first. Then quickly they have reached 300.000. They stayed with 300.000 for a longtime but as some countries want to use this as a political tool, they are still encouraging Armenians to have claims.Being encouraged so much by some, they ended up reaching the fantastic and purely fantasy number of 1.500.000.(Nearly all of the Armenians.) What is the purpose? Some nurtured the idea of Great Greece. Megalo idea. They have been seriously beaten and punished in a way. Later on, same people have nurtured the idea of Enosis. They have received another lesson. Territories claimed to be Armenian are under PKK-YPG-TAK attack nowadays. Kurdish terrorism. All of them helped and maintained by money and arms coming from Turkey’s official allies such as the U. S. Why? Because behind the curtains there is another dream which is called Eretz Israel and which would like to take a sizeable part of Turkish territory pretending that God had promised?!!?We, Turkish people, are very much aware of what is going on and why the pityful show is going on!!! There is not an Armenian genocide and we shall never bow to such a ridiculous demand. There is a regrettable course of events due to Armenian betrayal. We regret the casualties but we are looking forward to see Armenians to start regretting what they did too. As long as they accept to be expendable political tools in some power’s game, they will only encounter frustration.(Exactly like the way PKK-YPG-TAK is “mis”used nowadays) But of course, the choice is theirs and here in Turkey, strictly no-one will move the little finger to try to convince them to behave more intelligently by diving into the real events, by reading and learning about the truth instead of believing in self-made convenient legends which, once more, reduces them into artificial victims and definite political loosers.
