The Armenian Genocide can be called a very controversial subject. Many claim that the massacre of the Armenians was considered a genocide. On the other hand, many people, including Turks, deny to this day that the event was a genocide. The Turkish government deliberately intended to isolate and destroy the Armenians. They had an organized plan to carry out these massacres and the actions of the Turkish government can be seen as a destruction of Armenians, not just their murder. The massacre of this specific group of people during World War I should be identified as genocide not only in this area but also throughout the world. The Turkish government had a reason to get rid of the Armenians. In the Ottoman Empire, Armenians were second-class citizens who lived in harmony with the Turks before the forces of nationalism entered the scene. Although Armenians faced higher taxes and second-class citizenship, they were fairly well treated and accepted. When nationalism took over, things began to change. The Ottoman Empire began to collapse and the Armenians were considered the only major Christian minority since all other minorities had already gained independence. The Ottoman Empire became the “sick man of Europe”. A once strong and independent empire was now beginning to collapse. The Turks planned to expand the new Pan-Turkish empire into Central Asia and the only thing stopping them from achieving this was the Armenians. For this reason, the Turks wanted to get rid of the Armenians. Sultan Hamid II ruled the Ottoman Empire and thanks to him, the empire was saved and did not fall. Although he saved the Ottoman Empire, Hamid ordered horrible events and left Armenians to suffer and die. The crimes that the Turks committed against the Armenians were considered the destruction of the Armenians. not just their murder. The Turkish triumvirate had a plan to get rid of all Armenians once and for all. They started by killing all Armenian leaders on April 24, 1915. This was done so that Armenians would be left without leaders and would be forced to make their own decisions to decide what is good for them. All the Armenian children who remained there learned to become Turks. After the genocide, Armenians, especially children who survived, were placed in orphanages. They were then brainwashed and raised to become Turks. Since the Young Turks wanted to get rid of the Armenians once and for all, the children left behind were told that they were Turks so that they would not know or forget their Armenian origins...
