I am calling the relocation of troublesome Armenians to Syria as banishment. Armenians perished along the way, it wasn't a systematic killing. Death toll of Armenians were only 500.000 while it was 1 million on Turkish side.

After living 600 years peacefully Armenians got greedy and betrayed Turkish people with the help of Russians.

Check my first comment there was even Armenian ministers in the government that time, did you see any Jew ministers during Hitler regime? Why would they allow such thing if they were about to commit some horrible genocide. Makes no sense.

While some Armenian independence organisations did use terrorism as a means, and indeed the question of the Armenian genocide is not that of the Ottoman Empire's momentary caprice to remove Armenians as a worse people like it was in the Holocaust (Holocaust and Medz Yeghern are incredibly different events, the former was head hunting against completely peaceful people for stupid racial ideals), the genocide happened, and words like betrayal and greed in what amounts to a global war of greed and massacres sound childish. If as Turks we have the right to indipendence as a people, so does ever other peoples.

>> Armenians got greedy and betrayed Turkish people with the help of Russians.

Bulgarians got greedy, Greeks got greedy, Assyrians got greedy, Armenians got greedy.

* Bulgarian Genocide in Batak of 1876. The number of victims 7,000.

* Greek genocide 1914–1923. 900 000 Greeks were killed.

* Assyrian genocide 1914-1925. 750 000 Assyrians were killed

* Armenian Genocide 1915 - 1923. 1 500 000 Armenians were killed.

All these predominantly Christian minorities in Turkey for some reason got greedy.

I assume lately Kurds are getting greedy as well?

> relocation of troublesome Armenians to Syria as banishment

didn't they "relocate" them by forcing them to march through the desert?

Most of the Armenians were located in Eastern part of Anatolia. As far as I can see there is no desert in between Syria and Eastern Anatolia.
