What happened during the Armenian genocide still today affects those who survived that horrific experience and even the family members of those victims who didn’t make it through and of those who did survive the genocide. The reason for the genocide was that the Ottomans believed that the Armenians were a problem in Turkey ands they needed to get rid of them in order to save Turkey and also because they were non-Muslim and believed them to be second-level and this is what led to the mass murder…

Armenian Genocide "Who, after all, speaks of the annihilation of the Armenians?" Hitler once said this when addressing the Nazi army about the upcoming genocide of millions of Jews.

From the beginning during the Ottoman Empire, Christians were discriminated against as they paid higher taxes than Muslims.
