Why did the Turks do the Armenian genocide in 1951?

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.

Is the Turkish Van Turkish or Armenian?

The cat is dated centuries back to the Armenians. Van was in Armenia before Turkey commited a genocide on the Armenians and attempted to change them to Muslim from their Christianity and were unsuccessful, but in doing so took more than 60% of their land and killed roughly 1.5 million Armenians. So to say Van is turkish is incorrect. It now belongs to turkey, but was named by Armenians in Armenia living in their country at the time. The cat which is called the "Haygagan Van Gatu" is translated from Armenian meaning with exact translation to be "Armenian Van Cat" . Turks can name it what they wish but its origin is Armenian.
