The Armenian Genocide is a historic event where hundreds of thousands or millions of ethnic Armenians were raped, slaughtered, and deported to concentration camps under the Ottoman Empire during World War I. To this day, Turkey has not admitted that the Genocide occured and referred to the time period as a confusing period where many people were killed because of political uprisings. This has been a problem in the Turkish-Armenian relationship. Internationally, twenty-one countries have officially recognized it as genocide.
