The greatest tragedy of the Armenian nation
The Armenian Genocide during World War I (1914-18) and the subsequent state policy of the Ottoman Empire and the Kemalist government in Western Armenia, Cilicia and other Armenian-populated areas of the empire, as well as in Eastern Armenia, is the mass resettlement and extermination of the Armenian population: The events of 1915 and subsequent years are unequivocally qualified as genocide. It was genocide, because at the state level it was planned to destroy, physically destroy an entire nation - the Armenian people. It was the first genocide of the 20th century, an unprecedented event that happened to the Armenians. This indisputable fact is stubbornly not recognized by the Turkish Government. Following the latter, most of the world's states also pursue a policy of neglect. But the Armenian people must not forget this great tragedy, they must do everything to ensure that it is condemned by the world and never repeated.
