Armenian Massacres — Tipping into Genocide part 2

The First World War formed the backdrop and context for the launching of what is considered the first full-scale modern genocide, the 1915 Armenian massacres in Ottoman Turkey, one of the Central Powers. Between 500,000 and 1,500,000 men, women, and children of the Armenian minority in the empire were killed or died from abuse in the government's resettlement campaign and massacres. The Christian Armenians were considered a suspect population and a liability on the home front. At a time of worldwide suffering, international reactions to these murders were muted. This important example shows how the war itself seemingly normalized mass violence, including the targeting of civilians, and formed a precedent for the later genocides of the 20th century.

The pan Turkish empire or the entertainment of this idea seems to be the renewed passion of Erdogan and some Turks at present. Turks have not given up their sick dream of pan Turkism and politicians are playing this dirty card now.
