I don't know why I waste my time with you but here you go

The death marches, involving over a million Armenians, covered hundreds of miles and lasted months. Indirect routes through mountains and wilderness areas were deliberately chosen in order to prolong the ordeal and to keep the caravans away from Turkish villages.  Food supplies being carried by the people quickly ran out and they were usually denied further food or water. Anyone stopping to rest or lagging behind the caravan was mercilessly beaten until they rejoined the march. If they couldn't continue they were shot. A common practice was to force all of the people in the caravan to remove every stitch of clothing and have them resume the march in the nude under the scorching sun until they dropped dead by the roadside from exhaustion and dehydration.  An estimated 75 percent of the Armenians on these marches perished, especially children and the elderly. Those who survived the ordeal were herded into the desert without a drop of water. Others were killed by being thrown off cliffs, burned alive, or drowned in rivers.  The Turkish countryside became littered with decomposing corpses. At one point, Mehmed Talaat responded to the problem by sending a coded message to all provincial leaders: "I have been advised that in certain areas unburied corpses are still to be seen. I ask you to issue the strictest instructions so that the corpses and their debris in your vilayet are buried. But his instructions were generally ignored. Those involved in the mass murder showed little interest in stopping to dig graves. The roadside corpses and emaciated deportees were a shocking sight to foreigners "

At least, the Nazis used gas.

even they did this, it is not hard to find at least a small part of them.

and can you say me the reason why we should kill aermenians, after they had lived hundreds of years in our land?

this genocide idea has came up in 1995. why they shutted up for years, and started crying suddenly?

The United States archives contain an interesting document sent to Lord Curzon on 13 July 1921 by Mr. R.C. Craigie, the British Ambassador in Washington. The message was as follows: “I regret to state that there is nothing that may be used as evidence against the Turkish detainees in Malta. There are no events that may constitute adequate proofs. The said reports do not appear to contain even circumstantial evidence that could be useful to reinforce the information held by His Majesty’s Government against the Turks.”

They also stated the following: “No statements were hitherto received from the witnesses to the effect that the indictments intended against the detainees are correct. Likewise it does not need to be restated that finding witnesses after so long a time is highly doubtful in a remote country like Armenia which is accessible only with great difficulties.” This statement was made also by none other than the legal advisers in London of His Majesty’s Government.

Some persons think it did happen.

There is a general agreement among Western historians that the Armenian Genocide did happen. The International Association of Genocide Scholars (the major body of scholars who study genocide in North America and Europe), for instance, formally recognize the event and consider it to be undeniable. Some consider denial to be a form of hate speech or/and historical revisionism.  Some Turkish intellectuals also support the genocide thesis despite opposition from Turkish nationalists; these include Ragıp Zarakolu, Ali Ertem, Taner Akçam, Halil Berktay, Fatma Müge Göcek and Dr. Fikret Adanır. In 1994, Turkish authors Ayşe Nur Zarakolu, Ragıp Zarakolu and Emirhan Oğuz were prosecuted for translating a French text, "The Armenians: story of a genocide", which had been banned in Turkey. In 2004, five hundred Turkish intellectuals protested a new high-school history curriculum which ordered teachers to denounce to students "the unfounded allegations" of the Armenians.

Even Hitler knew about it.

After achieving total power in Germany, Hitler decided to conquer Poland in 1939 and told his generals: "Thus for the time being I have sent to the East only my 'Death's Head Units' with the orders to kill without pity or mercy all men, women, and children of Polish race or language. Only in such a way will we win the vital space that we need. Who still talks nowadays about the Armenians?"

Im interested, has anyone ever read about wheter there is "number of killed persons" required for Genocide?
I doubt anyone would proclaime a genocide for, lets say, 3000 dead.

And topic starter should remove the sentence about the origin of the word genocide. Seems like most people just read it and skip the definition of genocide. Ive seen alot of "you have to want to kill an ENTIRE race for it to be a genocide you noob" comments. You confused them with that Geno... Cide...

some because of hungry, and some because of disaster. at least it is not 1.5 million!
Why don't you learn from Germans, they don't deny the Holocaust.  You should do the same with the Armenian Genocide, show more respect for those people, you are not guilty anyway and nobody is accusing you for this.

It is there just for educational purposes, and if they stop reading there, they are the noobs and I don't mind being called noob by a noob.  That was a lot of use of the noob word.  Lol.  You took your time to read the definition according to the UN, and you understood the real meaning of Genocide.  If other persons don't bother to read it, they can call me a noob.

While many Americans have trouble accepting reality, it would appear Turks have even more of a problem with this.

Of course, what else should I expect from a country that treats Kurds like animals.  You'd probably execute all of them if you were given the chance.

Why do you think the killing of 3000 people can't be called a genocide? Isn't 3000 just about what was killed at the WTC?

I was wrong to say "I doubt that anyone..." because I ment the UN.
Im saying this because the UN is always very reluctant to proclaime something a genocide. Im from Bosnia and I remember all the debates...
You have probably all heard about the mass killings in a small town called Srebrenica. Well it was (officialy) established beyond doubt that the massacre at Srebrenica was an act of genocide after a ICTY court rulling in 2004. That is 9 years after the war. And the Death Toll was said to be 8000 and because of that it was questioned wheter it was a genocide or not. So it took around 8 years of courts and civil lawsuits etc.

Thats why Im wondering about the "numbers". And im not asking IF its a genocide but If its officialy a genocide.

Answering your question, if there's a killing of 8000 persons of a group of 10000 you can call that a Genocide, while if there's a killing of 200.000 people of a group of 10 million you can call that a mass killing.
