The Armenian Question

The Armenian Question refers to the historical challenges and struggles faced by Armenians, particularly related to their rights and recognition in the Ottoman Empire and later Turkey. It gained prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, culminating in the Armenian Genocide during World War I, when around 1.5 million Armenians were systematically killed. The issue persists today, as many countries and organizations debate the classification of these events as genocide. The Armenian Question encompasses themes of national identity, historical justice, and the implications for modern Turkish-Armenian relations and global recognition of the genocide.
