In 1915, the Armenian Genocide took place under the Ottoman Empire, where over 1.5 million Armenians were systematically killed. Armenians were targeted due to their Christian faith and perceived political beliefs. The genocide involved mass deportations, forced marches, and brutal killings. The impact of the Armenian Genocide was devastating, leading to the loss of a significant part of the Armenian population and the destruction of their cultural heritage. Survivors faced displacement, trauma, and continued persecution. The Armenian Genocide is recognized as one of the first modern genocides and a significant event in Armenian history. The international community has debated the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, with some countries acknowledging it as a genocide, while others refrain from using the term due to political considerations. Despite ongoing denial by the Turkish government, many countries and organizations continue to advocate for recognition and justice for the victims. #ArmenianGenocide #OttomanEmpire #GenocideRecognition #ArmenianHistory #HumanRights
