In 1915, Ismail Enver Pasha, one of the leaders of the Ottoman Empire (the country that would become Turkey) and the Young Turk Revolutionary Organization, coordinated the genocide of the Armenian people living in the eastern part of Anatolia. He did this along with two other key Young Turk leaders: Mehmed Talaat Pasha, and Ahmed Djemal Pasha. It was a coordinated attempt to drive the Armenians out of their ancestral lands and to eliminate not only them, but all traces that they had ever lived in eastern Anatolia. These men were extreme nationalists who wanted to create a modern ethnically Turkish state. In addition to the Armenians, Pontic Greeks and Assyrians were also subject to the genocide.
The first group attacked and murdered were the Armenian intellectuals in Istanbul. Next, entire villages were expunged of the majority-Armenian, majority-Greek, and majority-Assyrian inhabitants and the names of the cities completely altered to create "theoretical" Turkish names in a process called Turkification. Over 100 cities and townships were Turkified in this way. The Armenians were marched to Deir ez-Zur in the Syrian desert without food and water (the Pontic Greeks and the Assyrians were marched to other places). In addition to numerous deaths from starvation and thirst, there were numerous massacres and concentration camps along the route to Deir ez-Zur. That genocide was the goal is basically assured. This is not to mention the courageous work of Gregoris Balakian who detailed how the system was organized.

Genocide is defined as "the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group." The Ottoman Government was responsible for the Armenian Genocide. To be specific Envar, Jemal,and Talat-pasha were the main people who organized the genocide. The killings were an attempt to wipe out the Armenians and rid them from Turkey. The reason you hear many people complaining/talking about the Armenian Genocide,and not the Holocaust, is because the Turkish government has not accepted the Armenian Genocide. They say it was a civil war, not a genocide, and they teach that to the children in the schools.
