The Armenian Genocide was the systematic mass murder and ethnic cleansing of around 1 million ethnic Armenians from Asia Minor and adjoining regions by the Ottoman Empire (now Turkey) during World War I.
At the orders of Talat Pasha, an estimated 800,000 to 1.5 million Armenian women, children, and elderly or infirm people were sent on death marches leading to the Syrian Desert in 1915 and 1916. Driven forward by paramilitary escorts, the deportees were deprived of food and water and subjected to robbery, rape, and massacre. In the Syrian Desert, they were dispersed into a series of concentration camps; in early 1916 another wave of massacres were ordered, leaving about 200,000 deportees alive by the end of 1916. Around 100,000 to 200,000 Armenian women and children were forcibly converted to Islam and integrated into Muslim households.

107 years passed and the Turkish government repeatedly denies that
the Armenian Genocide took place, which is a painful experience for Armenians in Armenia and Diaspora all around the world. One of the reasons why Turkey continues to deny the Armenian Genocide took place are the potential repercussions and reparations if acknowledged.
