What is genocide? What makes genocide possible? Genocide is the systematic killing of an entire people, there are too many different reasons that cause genocide, for example the hatred of Turks through Armenians caused the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Although the genocide occurred 99 years ago, personally I think the Turks are responsible for the loss of 1.5 million Armenians and should be punished for everything they caused. The Armenian nation that lived in Asia Minor for thousands of years was killed 99 years ago. The Ottoman Empire divided its people decades before the genocide; had two groups, the Muslim Ottomans and the Christian Armenians, Sara Cohen, director of Scholastic Success, in her article “A Brief History of the Armenian Genocide” said: “And since the Russians had Armenians serving as soldiers, the Ottoman government he was worried that the Ottoman Armenians might commit treasonous acts.” This describes that the reason for the genocide that would happen, there was a reason for it.

Not only did they kill the Armenian author, but they did not even punish the murderer. This indicates that the Turks still do not allow the Armenians the freedom to speak and assert their rights. The Armenian Genocide occurred 99 years ago and to this day the Turks have not yet been punished. Furthermore, most countries still do not confess that the Armenian Genocide actually happened, even though the evidence exists.
