Armenian Genocide(short description) Posted 4-24-2001 19:51

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the 1915-1918 The Turkish Govenrment performed a systematic cleansing of the Armenian nation from their historical homeland(present Turkey).
The Genocide was planned to elaminate Armenians as
a Political and Cultural unit of that Empire. Bringing the reason of the WWI the Young Turks started to arrest and assasinate the intelligencia concentrated in Kostandnupolis(Istanbul).
The second step was to mobilize the males from 18 to 45 year old, disarm them and murdur group by group.
Afterwards the peaceful population was forced to move to the deserts of Middle East(Mesopotemia)to starve and die on their way to the final destination.
Facts: 1.5 million died,
2 million escaped from the massacres,
500 thousand were forced to change their religion..
Basicly the Armenian nation as itself was on the edge of disapearing.
the 24th of April was chosen as a Memory day according to the day of the arrest of the Armenian intelligencia(600 people) in Istanbul in 1915.
