It's historical fact that more than 650,000 Armenians (about 40% of the total population of 1.75 million) were mass murdered by the Ottomans in 1915-16. Incidentally, the term "genocide" was coined by the Polish-Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin in 1944 to describe Hitler's on-going holocaust. But what first drew his attention to the horrors of holocausts was the one conducted by Turks against Armenians. He used the term holocaust to describe any planned attempt to destroy an entire people or ethnic group - and that describes what happened to the Armenians. In fact, that catastrophe is often desrcibed as "the first genocide of the 20th century". In the early 4th century Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity as a state religion. By the early 16th century most Armenians had become subjects of the Islamic Ottoman Empire. Even though Turkey has always denied a genocide (which always presupposes a planned, premediated onslaught), even they can't dispute the reality of the numbers.

Yeah, and the holocaust didn't happen either. Sorry, Turks, when you live by the sword, expect to die by it.
