If Turkey denies the Armenian genocide of 1915, it is (also) to hide the massacres of 1895. (DI). [Googletranslate].

The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the 20th century. In 1895, Muslims made a real massacre.

"For centuries, the Turks simply lived like parasites on the backs of the people busy and industrious. They imposed their economic extinction, stole their most beautiful girls to take them by force in their harems, took Christian male infants by hundreds of miles to make the Muslim soldiers. I do not intend to describe the terrible vassalage and oppression that lasted five centuries. My goal is simply to emphasize this innate attitude towards the Muslim Turkish people who are not of their own race and religion, that they are not human beings but merely slaves allowed to live when they are of interest to their masters, or can be destroyed without mercy when they ceased to be useful. This attitude is reinforced by a total disregard for human life and an intense pleasure in inflicting physical pain, which is not unusual among primitive peoples. "- ( Henry Morgenthau , US Ambassador to Constantinople from 1913 to 1916)

In all, two million Armenians were either displaced from their ancestral lands, or eliminated, much like the Europeans want this to happen to the Jews in Palestine today.

For this, the Ottoman Turkish Muslims, who do not tolerate Christians - nothing is new - organized genocide to rid the Armenian and Greek. Thus 1.5 million people lost their lives between 1915 and 23, during and after the First World War.

This is the genocide which the Turks now deny the existence (they have not always denied).

But before that, between 1894 and 1896, about 300 000 to 400 000 inhabitants of Armenian Christian villages were massacred in pogroms organized by special regiments of the Sultan Abdul-Hamid II , also known as the "Red Sultan" for the massacres he committed against the Ottoman Armenian population.

The worst of these massacres took place in 1895 300,000 civilians, mainly men, were savagely, Islamically slaughtered. It must be said that Armenian Christians were far more educated, wealthier inhabitants of the old Turkish Empire, but also already the so-called - the infidels, non believers in Islam.

The massacres were -officially destined for undermining the Armenian nationalist sentiment and frighten the Armenians. Sultan Abdul-Hamid II was frightened by the liveliness of the activity of Armenian political groups, and wanted to curb their growth before they acquire greater influence by spreading ideas about civil rights and autonomy. However, according to historians, he was not considering as his successors, the Young Turks,  the Armenians to disappear as a people.

The testimony of Vilbert, Shipley and Prjevalsky, representatives of France, Britain and Russia, totally contradicts the thesis of non genocidal massacre

"We, gentlemen Vilbert, Shipley and Prjevalsky, representatives of France, Britain and Russia have become convinced, and arrived at the conclusion in functions of the evidence before us, the Armenians were massacred without age or sex, and that, in fact, for a period of three weeks between August 12 and September 4, it is no exaggeration to say that the Armenians were absolutely hunted like wild beasts, were killed where they were found, and if the killing was not more important it is, I think, only to the extent of the mountains of this region, which has allowed people to spread and s escape more easily.

In fact, and speaking with a full sense of responsibility, I am forced to admit that was imposed on me the conviction that it was not so much the capture of the Murad agitator, or suppression of a pseudo -revolt, who were wanted by the Turkish authorities but the outright extermination of Ghelieguzan and Talori "(in Armenian massacres in which the sword of Mohammed and Armenian atrocities )"

US President Grover Cleveland wrote, December 2, 1895 in his message to Congress:

"Some events in Turkey have continued to cause concern. Reports of massacres of Christians in Armenia, and development, there and in other regions, in the spirit of a fanatical hostility against the Christian influence, causes a natural fear (since dubbed Islamophobia) for safety men and women devotees, belonging to American missionary societies abroad, and who reside in Turkey under the guarantee of law and practice for the legitimate practice of their educational and religious mission. "

When in 1896 the US threatened the Sultan Abdul Hamid II to cease the "persecution" of Armenians, the latter, in its reply, did as his successor Erdogan today: he denied any persecution of Armenians, but declared that the Ottoman Empire had received thousands of Muslim refugees who fled the oppression of Christian Bulgaria and Russia.

Thus the Turks created "Turkey for the Turks".
