The Armenian Genocide took place 1915 to 1924. The Ottoman Empire, specifically the Turkish government and people, rounded up the Armenian minority in what is now the Republic of Turkey and murdered all healthy men. Then they rounded up women and children as well as the old and the sick and sent them on a ‘death march’ to the Syrian desert. During this march they were denied food and water. To this day Turkey refuses to recognize this killing of an estimated 800,000-1,500,00 people as a genocide.
