A look at the Armenian genocide As many as 1.5 million Armenians were killed in what was the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. Yet the Turkish government refuses to acknowledge the crime as genocide, even to this day. For more than a century the world has struggled to call crimes committed against Armenians during WWI genocide In an effort to solve the Armenian problem, Ottoman troops led hundreds of thousands of Armenians on forced marches into the Syrian desert during the years 1915-1916, thousands more were rounded up across the empire and summarily executed. Whereas many historians refer to these death marches and massacres as genocide, the Turkish government has never uttered the word, admitting only that there were mass expulsions and violent conflicts.
