    Turkey's Armenians Face Delicate Balance

    Turkey’s Armenian community has once again found itself caught between upholding its identity and trying to stay on the right side of the Turkish authorities.

    Ankara was furious over the German parliament’s June 2 decision to recognize the mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks in 1915 as genocide.

    Harsh rhetoric following the German decision caused concerns among Armenians in Turkey.

    President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to deport citizens of Armenia living there illegally, and there were chants of “the best Armenian is a dead Armenian” at one gathering of ultranationalist youths near the German consulate in Istanbul.

    Armenian Genocide - Education & Overview

    The Armenian Genocide was the centrally planned and systematically executed deportation and murder of over 2 million Christian Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians by the Ottoman Turkish Government from 1915-1923.

    Despite overwhelming documentation by historians and condemnation by over 25 countries worldwide, an unrepentant Turkey seeks to both enforce an international gag-rule against truthful affirmation of the Armenian Genocide and to obstruct a just international resolution of this still unpunished crime.

    Armenian & Ottoman Empire Historical Background

     

    • Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity as its state religion in 301 A.D. The subsequent persecution of Armenians throughout the centuries stemmed, to a meaningful degree, to their refusal to renounce Christianity.
    • Prior to the Armenian Genocide of 1915, the territory of modern-day Turkey was home to a large, ancient, and indigenous Christian population, comprise
