In Peter Holquest's The Politics and Practice of the Russian Occupation Armenia, he examines the changes and goals of the Russian policies towards the Armenian community. Holquest begins to explain that Russian policy towards Armenia during World War 1 was to dupe the Armenians. The policy was to allow the Russians to use the Armenians against the Ottoman Turks; this was also a means to annex Turkish Armenia. The policy remains unchanged from 1912 to early 1916; the Russian government avoid any measures

condone it; because the failure to deal radically with Turkish horror means that all talk of guaranteeing the future peace of the world is mischievous nonsense". The prediction was right. Mass extermination and deportation of Western population of Armenia, Cilicia and other provinces of the Ottoman Empire carried out by the ruling circles of Turkey in 1915-1923. The policy of genocide against Armenians was due to several factors. The leading role among them was the ideology

In the case of the Cilician Armenians, size did not matter but its location sure did. With the texts by Bayarsaikhan Dashdondog, Sirarpie Der Nersessian, Ani Atamian Bournoutian, and Angus Donal Stewart this essay will discuss Cilician Armenia from its humble beginnings, to its rise, its different interactions, and lastly to its rapid fall. As a result of being located on the brink of catastrophe ranging from the previously expanding powers of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum and the European Crusaders

Armenia, located in the West Asia on the “Armenian Highlands”, is where I came from. It was really strange for me to hear that some people didn’t even know that there was a country named Armenia. People who came from there like to invent, build, and expand things. Even tough its only 25 years that Armenia gained independence from Soviet union, we were the first country in the world to accept Christianity as a state religion in way back 301. There has been sporadic emigration from Armenia to the

The Armenian people had made their home of the Caucasus region of Eurasia for around 3,000 years. For some of that time the kingdom of Armenia was an autonomous entity at the beginning of the fourth century A.D. and became the first nation in the world that made Christianity its official religion. During the fifteenth century, Armenia was absorbed into the mighty Ottoman Empire. In the other hand, the Ottoman rulers were Muslim.

An era of great accomplishments followed; a distinct alphabet, the flourishing of literature and art, and a unique style of architecture. In the eleventh century a Turkish invasion happened in the Armenian homeland (“United Human Rights Council”). The Ottoman Empire came to power in the thirteenth century, but became one of the most powerful states in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and by this time, Armenia has been

We left our entire family in Armenia to be able to have a better life in the United States. Armenia was a soviet nation and when the USSR collapsed, so did most of Armenia’s economy. People struggled to make money and life there quickly became very hard. My parents always tell me stories of when my brother and I were babies

To what extent can the mass murder in Armenia be considered a genocide or civil war? On the 24 April 1915, as the Ottoman Empire was being dismantled, a fiercely nationalistic Muslim political party known as the Young Turks began the process of exterminating approximately 1 500 000 Armenian Christians. The Young Turks aimed to create a state that was free from any Armenians and from Christians in particular. The genocide lasted 8 years, until 1923, during which time the Armenian Christian population

empires called the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire. The Ottoman Empire which controlled Western Armenia, was home of the Turkish people, whereas the Russian Empire which controlled Eastern Armenia was ruled by the Russians. As a result, the Western portion of Armenia was divided into six vilayets called Van, Bitlis, Diyarbakir, Kharpert, Sivas, and Erzurum, while the remnants of Eastern Armenia was divided into Kars and Yerevan. In account of the factors that led to this disheartening division
