The Armenian Genocide was the systematic killing of the Armenian population during and after World War I. It is thought that between one and one and a half million people were killed during this time period. The Armenian people were Christians, and they were a minority in the area, and considered second class. The Armenians were discriminated against greatly leading up to the genocide. The genocide consisted of the systematic killing of many of these people, including marches to the deserts of today's Syria, and neglecting to give the Armenian people food and drink.
I believe that the Armenian Genocide was a terrible thing, and that it is unfair to systematically kill people based on their beliefs, or their race. It was wrong when Hitler did it, and it was certainly wrong when the Turks did it.
