One reason was that Turky felt that they were a threat to them. Turkey thought that they would join up with Russia and fight against them in the war. Also, it was a culture that the Turkish thought would threaten their own.
Also because Turkey was jealous of Armenia. After the genocide, they took our land, our foods, and the deaths of many people in Armenia.
Also, the Turks were/are a Muslim country, while Armenia was/is a Christian country. If you look up Armenian Genocide, you will get to learn more about it all. It is a terrible story.

∙ 14y agoLooking for an answer to a question like this on wiki answers is pretty useless. No matter how hard you try people will be bias about it, so I recommend that you should research both sides of the story. It is really hard to get a definite answer over wikipedia, because everyone can change it.

Look, to those of you who are modern Turks, we Armenians don't blame you. However your ancestors assassinated nearly all of our population and took our land. So that's why every single year on April we have this thing called Armenian Genocide to show how desperate we felt about out ancestors who died in 1915 because of that war. SO BACK OF PEOPLE, ARMENIANS DID NOTHING WRONG! Thanks!
The first answer says:
" ... you should research both sides of the story. It is really hard to get a definite answer over wikipedia, because everyone can change it." This is easy to say, and hard to do. In the end you have to decide which sources to trust, and which not to trust.

∙ 12y agoArmenians made up a large portion of Turk society, they had a different religion than the Turks and were protected by the Europeans until World War I broke out then they faded and the Turks began exterminating them.

∙ 14y agoAs to the general Western view, the Armenian genocide was caused when the Turks saw a political and military threat coming from the Christian ethnic group in the Northwest, the Armenians, after 3 Armenian rebellions and then the defection of Armenians to the Russian Army in WW1 (a tiny number, not enough to justify the Ottomans' actions). They relocated them to the south, but along the way, approximately 1 million Armenians died. This could be compared to the relocation of Cherokee Amerindians in the United States under President Andrew Jackson; most of the deaths in the Armenian genocide, however, were probably caused by anti-Armenian racism of individual Ottoman soldiers, rather than the Ottoman government's direct intention.

The cat is dated centuries back to the Armenians. Van was in Armenia before Turkey commited a genocide on the Armenians and attempted to change them to Muslim from their Christianity and were unsuccessful, but in doing so took more than 60% of their land and killed roughly 1.5 million Armenians. So to say Van is turkish is incorrect. It now belongs to turkey, but was named by Armenians in Armenia living in their country at the time.
