This study is based on an article of Professor Justin McCarthy, a famous American history proffessor. It is unjustified to label as “genocide”, the events that took place within the Ottoman State of 1915, which caused great loss of life for both the Turkish and Armenian communities and resulted with the forced relocation of the majority of the Armenian people to other provinces of the Empire.
What must be considered at first is a few simple questions, "Did the Ottoman Government carry out a plan to exterminate the Armenians?" "Was there an Armenia?" Was there a region within the Ottoman Empire where Armenians were a compact majority that might rightfully demand their own state?
