The Armenian genocide happened during World War I between 1915 and 1918. It a discussed that is little discussed, and its enactors still refute that genocide actually occurred. Conversely, as per few claims the genocide did occur and sustained even after the Armistice of 1918, and the Peace Treaty of 1923. As per the few sources, the Armenian people had to undergo forced marches, massacre, torture and starvation by the "Young Turk" administration of the Ottoman Empire. It is projected that one-and-a-half million Armenians were killed between 1915 and 1923. Another half million found asylum out of the country, the official website of the Armenian Genocide Museum says.

Armenian genocide, which came to light 20 years before World War II, is still reverberating today, so much so that the mere utterance of the “G” word is ignites a political topic — even in the United States.

Tribute day of the Armenian Genocide victims is today, that is April 24 2010 and is commemorated across the World to spread Armenians honor the memory of the innocent victims who were killed in their country as a result of the genocidal policy of the Turkish authorities.

The Armenians received no assistance from the outside world during the genocide. It was the Armenians themselves who eventually turned the tide. When Russian troops who had attacked the Eastern Front and made their way into Central Turkey withdrew due to the Russian Revolution in 1917, many Armenian survivors left with them and settled in provinces of the former Russian Empire along with Armenians who were already there. An estimated 500,000 Armenians gathered in this area. Turkish armies attacked this area in 1918, killing an estimated 100,000 Armenians. However, the remaining Armenians had acquired weapons and were able to fight back, winning the battle of Sardarabad, and thus turning the tide. Armenian leaders then declared establishment of the independent republic of Armenia.
