It's important to note that all Christians in Ottoman Empire were targeted, not just the Armenians. 2.5 million Christians died in the Armenian, Assyrian and Pontic Genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, the largest persecution of Christians in history. Virtually every Christian family in the Ottoman Empire was affected. Thousands more were forcibly converted to Islam. Islamist-Nationalism was a key driver of the genocide. Most shamefully of all, many perpetrators unfortunately escaped facing justice, and the modern Turkish Republic still denies it.
Cenk Uygur FINALLY addresses and acknowledges the Armenian Genocide
