Mehmet Talaat Pasha. This incredible quotation not only proves Talaat and the Young Turk Government was driving the extermination policy, but also admits that complete genocide was the policy. Talaat’s bizarre logic was this: We have killed so many Armenians that any remaining will certainly want revenge. Therefore, we have to exterminate them all lest they attempt to obtain justice at the expense of the Turks or even exact revenge against the Turks. The U. S.

Hundreds of thousands of Armenians were killed outright, and about an equal number were “deported” to special areas. Many died of malnutrition along the forced march of Ethnic Cleansing. Others were murdered as they were deported. No one knows exactly how many Armenians were killed with estimates ranging from ½ million to 4 million. This was the first genocide of the 20th century.

They further claim that the Armenian behavior was in large part responsible for the forced deportations because of their lack of patriotism and unwillingness to help the Turkish authorities identify the Russian agents. Most Turks today are unaware of the Armenian Genocide as nothing is taught about the massacres in schools or other institutions. It is against the law in Turkey to even have an intellectual study of the Turkish behavior towards the Armenians, much less publish anything about it.
