“…After all who remembers today the extermination of the Armenians?”
(Adolf Hitler 22/08/1939).
Armenian’s genocide was the fist racial extermination in the 20st century; 1.500.000 persons (75% of the Armenian population at that time) were murdered by the Turks It happens because of politics strategies because Armenians were a marginalised race
in that country and they were fighting for having the seam rights as
the Turks. In 1915 the terror started. The first victims were the
enlightened elite, artists and religious people. After eliminating them,
the government tricked the men between 15 to 45 years to let their families helpless. Finally the weakest sector of the population were eliminated, woman and children. One of the most shocking facts is the way chosen to kill them the least expensive way one can imagine ! The
Turks used white weapons, drowned the Armenians in the Black Sea and
starve the Armenian to death forcing them to wander in the Der Zor desert.
What happened in Turkey was a real genocide,
but this country does not want to recognise it; furthermore they want
to delete this event and the 600 years of history coexisting with the
Armenian from their data, changing documents and destroying monuments.
New generations do not know the existence of the genocide. Young Turks have discovered their history by the rock group “System of a Down”, that is very conscious about this topic and is fighting to help the Armenians’ memory.
On
the other hand some other countries neither recognise it. 171 out of
the 193 member states of the United Nations do not do it , some of them
are world powers for instance Great Britain o United States of America,
they set before their own interests, for example military bases. Fortunately, some of the European Union countries accept it as genocide and they are forcing Turkey to do it too. If Turkey wants to annex to the EU , it must necessarily recognise it.
The armenian question is a very interesting one. So I found this pags useful to understand the complexities.

The blue writing is a bit difficult to read, it might be worth making it lighter
