The Armenian Genocide, its precedence, and denial

The Armenian Genocide took place between 1915-1918, but it had a long history leading up to it. After decades of ethnic warfare, Young Turks (ordered by the three pashas of the CUP party) systematically murdered 2-3 million Christians of Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek dissent during World War I. Turkey then instituted denial of this event, which continues to this day. Such ignorance will not be tolerated. -0:45 Most Armenians were Oriental Orthodox, not Eastern Orthodox (thx @phoenixshadow6633) ------------------------------------------------------------ Bibliography Raymond Kevorkian, The Armenian Genocide: A Complete History (New York: IB Tauris, 2011). https://amzn.to/2zrw0br See the original review:    • The Promise (2016) | Based on a True Story   ------------------------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...

Spearheaded by the ruling Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), it was implemented primarily through the mass murder of around one million Armenians during death marches to the Syrian Desert and the forced Islamization of others, primarily women and children.
