Karte des Völkermords an den Armeniern im Jahr 1915.

in before this gets locked or the turks arrive

Deir ez-Zor, a city and its rural surrounding is a fertile and prosperous farming area, with livestock-breeding cereals and cotton crops, was the final destination of the deported Armenians. I don’t believe there was a annihilation center there.

Unfortunately, like many other victims of war, suitable conditions were not available for Armenian deportees.

Here before the turkish propaganda accounts show up

It’s sad an entire country is in denial about its own actions

I share the truth in response to propaganda posts, so that at least those who are curious about the truth can be informed. They are trying to create a fabricated genocide to hide their own dark past.

A French report states that there were between 1.2 and 1.3 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire at the time.

There’s a census conducted by the invading forces in the Ottoman Empire after this report, and it confirms the report. It turns out there were 1.2 million Armenians. It was said that 150,000 of these could be from different ethnic groups affiliated with the Armenian church.

The destinations of these Armenians are already recorded in immigration records to America, Russia, and Europe.

However, 100,000 Armenians chose to remain in the Ottoman Empire.

Funny how people are already jumping at conclusions about what the official stance of the government and Turks in general have on this. The official stance has never denied the death of anywhere between 600.000-1.500.000 Armenians. It is considered a series of massacres, deportations and a form of ethnic cleansing.

If you have any visceral reaction to me saying this because it doesn’t match with the made up scenario in your head, you are more than welcome to check the [wikipedia page](https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ermeni_Kırımı) in Turkish for basic starters with whatever translater you have on your hand to help you read.

Where we diverge is this incident being designated as genocide. It is considered a result of incompetence, indiscipline and logistical failure on behalf of the government and the officials then.

With the consistent actions of several Armenian organizations, particularly [ASALA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Secret_Army_for_the_Liberation_of_Armenia), it is abundantly clear to us that the intent is not rooted in sympathy for any innocent deaths, but rather in monetary and possibly territorial compensation to Armenia from Turkey.

Turkey (Ottomans) in the years during and shortly after WWI, committed genocide against the Armenians, Greeks, and Assyrians. They also nearly committed another genocide against the jews during WWI, this shortly after what they did to the Armenias, before being talked out of it by their German allies and the American foreign ambassador 

One of the other things not talked about enough, was the Ottomans(Turkey) use of the Kurds in helping to carry out the Armenian genocide. Only for them to wage what seems like a neverending battle against the kurds today
