Ararat Genocide

The Ararat Genocide refers to the targeted killing and expulsion of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire during World War I, particularly in the region around Mount Ararat. It involved mass deportations, murder, and forcible assimilation of Armenian communities, resulting in substantial loss of life and displacement. This event is often recognized as part of the larger Armenian Genocide, which has been a topic of historical controversy and recognition in international discussions. The term specifically highlights the geographic aspect and the suffering of Armenians in that region during this tragic period.
