apr 24, 1915 - Mass Deportation of Civilians
Description:
Armenians were separated from normal society. They were brought out into the desert to be eventually massacred by soldiers or the killing squads formed by the Young Turks. This segregation and displacement made it very easy for the Ottomans to slaughter one million Armenians.
