The 1915 Armenian Genocide

"What do you call the 1915 "mass deportation" of Armenians from the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) that resulted in the death of 1.5 million people? Most historians and Armenians around the world call it genocide. The Turkish government and the United States are not among those who will officially accept the word "genocide" when speaking of the decimation of the Armenian people in the early part of the 20th Century. (And that list also includes U.S. Presidents.)" (thanks Amir)
