/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Haberturk channel's TV program guest, Turkish
actress Pelin Batu characterized the 1915 events as Genocide.
Later in the program, the actress acknowledged to being threatened
because of her earlier statements on the Armenian Genocide. "I do
not advocate either Armenians or Turks. I only call on people to
tell the truth about past events," Pelin Batu said, criticizing the
intolerance of Turkish people and referring to recent statement by
Turkish Prime Minister on the eviction of 100 000 Armenians from the
country, habervitrini.com reported.
The Armenian Genocide (1915-23) was the deliberate and systematic
destruction of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during
and just after World War I. It was characterized by massacres, and
deportations involving forced marches under conditions designed to
lead to the death of the deportees, with the total number of deaths
reaching 1.5 million.
The majority of Armenian Diaspora communities were formed by the
Genocide survivors.
