Turks is league above anyone else. All Christian purged in Anatolia.
Turks are not saint and "tolerant" during pax Ottoman, just a little better than contemporary European. But their conduct are atrocious since 19th century.
Meanwhile Iran has the same problem with Russian encroachment. Iran did not kill her Christians because of Russians in 19th century.

Between 1894 and 1924, the number of Christians in Asia Minor fell from some 3-4 million to just tens of thousands—from 20% of the area’s population to under 2%. Turkey has long attributed this decline to wars and the general chaos of the period, which claimed many Muslim lives as well. But the descendants of Turkey’s Christians, many of them dispersed around the world since the 1920s, maintain that the Turks murdered about half of their forebears and expelled the rest.

When Turkey Destroyed Its Christians
From 1894 to 1924, a staggered campaign of genocide targeted not just the region’s Armenians but its Greek and Assyrian communities as well

Armenia occupied sovereign Azeri territory and changed demographics via genocide. They deserve not one ounce of pity.
Armenians deserve to feel the wrath of 30 year Azeri rage and anger.
Russia is not going to step in. Iran also fears its 40% Azeri population.
Some Americans, Europeans, and Australian neo-crusaders have sympathies with Armenia, but they are too far away to do anything.
Even Armenia's northern Christian neighbor Georgia has refused to help.
Armenian fascists are feeling very alone right now.
All their propaganda that they will erase Islam and end Turks is just rhetoric, they are facing reality now.
It would have been so much better for Armenians to stay loyal to Ottomans and not start their genocidal campaign against Türkmen and Kurds at the behest of Russia before WW1.
That incident which they call Armenian genocide, was actually effort to destroy the Ottoman empire by striking its weak point in the middle of war with Czarist Russia.
Because of Armenian antics, how many Circassians, Crimean Tatars, Tatars, Chechens, Dagestanis lost their lives to Russian pogroms and population change of the Caucasus?
@zectech can educate you on what Russians did when they took Turkish and Iranian lands.
