Anybody or group of people that found out Sarah Robinson
they could possibly have equal rights would naturally be happy or want to
celebrate right? Well the Armenian people made the mistake of celebrating after
the Young Turk Revolution gave them hope for equal rights and protection under a
new constitution. They were massacred, and those who weren’t killed were put
under strict Turkish Rule. The Armenians were neither guilty nor responsible for
the start of the Armenian Genocide. The Turks want the world to believe they
were attacked by Armenians but that’s not the case. You’ll see that the
Armenians were killed for trying to fight for civil rights, for celebrating
after the Turks informed them they would be under a new constitution which would
give them equal rights, and after being blamed for the Ottoman Empire’s loss of
World War I to the Russians, and you’ll understand that the Armenians were not
guilty of anything.

There is a major misconception about who was responsible for the start of the Armenian Genocide. Part of the world has been put under the false impression that the Armenians posed a threat to the Turkish people. During that time, several ethnic groups were fighting and hoping to get freedom, equal rights, and independence. Turks from what is now Turkey tricked them into thinking they had better things in their future, the Ottoman Empire even killed them because they believed Armenians were in lead with the Russians during World War I. After the Genocide was over, maps and history books were changed to erase all evidence that anything ever happened. Now you be the judge to the question. Were the Armenian people really responsible for the massacre of their own people?
