The Armenians, of whom between 600,000 and 1,8 million were systematically killed. The Turks themselves however maintain that this was an unfortunate case of ethnic violence and that death figures of Armenians are exaggerated, but among scholars there is very little doubt that the killings were well-organized by the Ottoman government.

Why did the Pope call the Armenian mass killings of 1915 a genocide?
If the question is asking why the Pope mentioned the Armenian genocide at all, it is because it is the 100th anniversary of the start of the genocide. There were commemoration ceremonies in Armenia and around the world and the Pope was commiserating.If the question is asking why the Pope characterized the Armenian genocide as a genocide, it is because it is a genocide (as much as Turks whine and complain about how much they do not like that term). A genocide is a deliberate attempt to extinguish a group of distinct people. That is exactly what happened when whole towns of Armenians were forced out of their homes, marched for hundreds of kilometers, shot, and buried in mass graves as a consistent policy led by Young Turk leaders like Ismail Enver or Mehmed Talaat. The scholarship on this issue is quite clear. Those who argue against it have been proven to either, (1) be Turkish themselves, and therefore have a stake in Turkey being exonerated, or (2) have received publicly acknowledged funds from the government of the Republic of Turkey, which compromises their scholarship.
