The Armenian Genocide happened in 1915. Armenians lived in their historical homeland for more than 5000 years, had kingdoms, cities, churches and schools. In the 13-14 centuries the Turkish nomad tribes came to the region, invaded the country of Armenians. Later they created the Ottoman Empire, a part of which was Western Armenia. Armenians were the intellectual Elite of the country, they were the richest shopowners, they were poets, politicians, doctors. Armenians were rich and what is more important they were CHRISTIAN, while Turks were Muslim. And there was the "Armenian Problem", where European countries exacted benefits from Turkey by trading on the problems of the Armenian community. This made the Armenians an effective scapegoat to "show" how the European Nations always made Turkey to do their bidding. Thus, the Best explanation is that Taliat Pasha (one of the organizers) gave : If there is no Armenian, there is no Armenian Problem". Armenians as rightful owners of the land were a great threat for Turkish Tyrants.
The following is translated from a Dutch source. I reproduce it as I got it. A Russian journalist to RIA Novosti asked Russian President Dmitry Medvedev if he has Jewish ancestry? Russian President Dmitry Medvedev replied that the rumors about his Jewish ancestry are inaccurate. He added that his ancestors are from Adana (Western Armenia in Turkey now) but he was born in Russia. He added in "I want everyone to be clear that I am Armenian, surname of my mother was Naxshikyan what the word Naxshik comes oudarmeens. The surname of my father was Bagratyan. This name is also purely Armenian. I was forced to change name to be head of Russian secret service (KGB) in France to work the cold war times. Since France had large Armenian community should not Arms Irish secret service agent working in France. That I have an Armenian surname changed to Russian. I am 100% Armenian." Finally the Russian President says he is proud of his Armenian parents and ancestor
No. The Armenian genocide has ended of 1917. However, Turkey's continued failure to recognize the Armenian genocide has prevented Turkey and Armenia from reconciling.
The Ottoman Empire was involved in the Armenian Genocide.
Depending on the Armenian speaking, the Armenian homeland was up to 10% of the land of Turkey. However, since the Armenian Genocide, the land has become so devoid of Armenian people, Armenian culture, and Armenian buildings of importance (like churches and castles) that almost no important Armenian actively tries to have the land repatriated to Armenia.
No. Turkey has passed legislation banning any open discussion of the Armenian Genocide (part of Article 301) and uses its important diplomatic and economic position to prevent other countries from recognizing the Armenian Genocide. This has resulted in many Turkish diplomatic problems, like EU entry, which is conditioned on Turkey's acceptance of the Armenian Genocide. Failure to recognize the genocide has made it difficult to establish diplomatic relations between Turkey and the modern Republic of Armenia.Please see Editorial: Turkey Must Recognize the Armenian Genocide from 2004 to read more.
