Thanks, you dumb fascist pig, for providing another op****tunity to reveal
more to the public about typical "Turkish" history:
Hamidian massacres
The Hamidian massacres, also referred to as the Armenian Massacres of
1894-1896, refers to the massacring of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire,
with
estimates of the dead ranging from 80,000 to 300,000.[1] The massacres are
named for Abdul Hamid II, whose efforts to reinforce the territorial
integrity of the embattled Ottoman Empire reasserted Pan-Islamism as a
state
ideology.[2]
Abdul Hamid believed that the woes of the Ottoman Empire stemmed from "the
endless persecutions and hostilities of the Christian world."[3] He
perceived the Ottoman Armenians to be an extension of foreign hostility, a
means by which Europe could "get at our most vital places and tear out our
very guts."[4]
One of the most serious incidents occurred in Armenian populated parts of
Anatolia. Although the Ottomans had prevented other revolts in the past,
the
harshest measures were directed against the Armenian community. They
observed no distinction between the nationalist dissidents and the
Armenian
population at large, and massacred them with brutal force.[5] However,
this
occurred in the 1890s, at a time when the telegraph could spread news
around
the world and when the Christian European powers were vastly more powerful
than the weakening Ottoman state.
