The mass murder of the Armenian people in Anatolia, now referred to
by most historians and human rights organizations as The Armenian
Genocide, destroyed a civilization that had resided in Anatolia for
thousands of years. The killing of between 1 million and 1.5 million
Armenians occurred mostly in 1915-16 during World War I, but continued
sporadically after the war until 1923.
