In 1915 Turkey launched a campaign of genocide against the Armenian people. Before the genocide there were over two million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire; after, there were fewer than 400,000.

Incidentally, the man who coined the word "genocide" was a lawyer of Polish/Jewish origin who investigated the accounts of the Armenian massacres.
