An Essay by Christine Wallenburg (12)
The world has faced countless slaughters and brutal killings that many people do not know about. One of these is the mass killing of the Armenian people in 1915. During World War I, the Young Turks political movement tried to eliminate Armenians from the Ottoman Empire. Turkey and many other countries around the world refuse to accept that any killings took place, even with the countless first-hand stories and evidence pointing towards genocide. The 1915 massacre of 1.5 million Armenian people was brutal, and should be accepted universally as Genocide, especially by Turkey.
