What is the purpose of Armenian genocide?

Answer 1

The Young Turks, the political group in power of the Ottoman Empire in 1915, had originally agreed to allow the Armenians to have much more equal rights than they did before under the rule of the sultan, Abdul Hamid. However, as they hoped to see the Ottoman Empire return to their former glory, they wanted to expand eastward. However, the eastern section held most of the Armenian population. They would have to move them out of the way so they could expand.

When WWI broke out, many Turks began growing suspicious of the Armenians forming a "secret alliance" with the Russians, the country they happened to be fighting. They realized that this was an opportunity to solve "the Armenian question," as the rest of the world would understand their dire measures they had to take to bring back the power of their Empire. They confiscated any weapon any Armenian owned, and began the Armenian Genocide.

Answer 2

They were tired of the Armenians asking for their independence, sad, huh?
