The Young Turks were overthrown and the new Turkish government ended it and brought some of those responsible to justice. Others were assassinated by vengeful Armenians. But most were not tried for crimes.

there has not been an armenian genocide so it cannot end if it had not started
the only thing that i can say that it truly happened is
during ww1 armenians were moved from their place because even though they were part of ottoman empire, they fought against them

Good Evening for Everyone,
Armenian Genocide is an absolutely lie.
I will say, what happened at this big Armenian Lie;
TURKISH DIPLOMATS KILLED BY THE ARMENIAN TERRORISTS DURING THEIR DUTY
The main targets of Armenian terror organizations, ASALA in particular, were now being chosen from among Turkish diplomats abroad. The first of the series of terrorist attacks was carried out against Mehmet Baydar, the Turkish Consul General in Los Angeles and his Deputy, Bahadir Demir. The assassinations were perpetrated by an Armenian by the name of Gurgen Yanikan in 1973. This individual action turned into organized Armenian terror as of 1975 and further escalated as of 1979. 110 acts of terror were carried out by Armenian terrorists in 38 cities of 21 countries. 39 of these were armed attacks, 70 of them bomb attacks and one was an occupation. 42 Turkish diplomats and 4 foreign nationals were assassinated in these attacks, while 15 Turks and 66 foreign nationals were wounded.

Some short and simple answers to your simple questions:
1- Something which did not take place cannot end.
2- In 1915 (World War I) Russia attacked the Ottoman Empire.
3- Ottoman citizens of Armenian origin allied with the Russians and shot Turkish soldiers from behind.
4- Same Armenian gangs massacred whole villages of Turks, mostly women and children in eastern Anatolia.
5- The Ottoman Government, fearing a retaliation and trying to ensure the security of the Ottoman Army, ordered the Armenians to be deported to a safer place.
6- Under the conditions of the time, thousands of Armenians died during this forced travel.
7- The word genocide was not used nor was Turkey accused of it until 1970s (and then by the USSR).
8- The number of Armenians who died at that time was first said to be around 400,000.
9- As the Armenian diaspora received ‘support’ from some western politicians (hoping to get Armenian votes), the number gradually was raised up to 1,500,000!!!
10- Good propaganda and lobbying ensured some ‘acknowledgement’ of the so called genocide by some European countries.
11- An Armenian terrorist organization called Asala, murdered a lot of Turkish diplomats in various countries during 1970s and 80s.
12- It is interesting to note that during this so called genocide, thousands of Armenians (Ottoman citizens) enjoyed full rights and lived safely and happily elsewhere in the Empire, especially in cities like Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa, Adana, etc.
Please check the definition of genocide and decide for yourself.

I’ m not aware of the exact facts of that incident. However, according to some opinions, also stated in this thread by, apparently Turks or Turkish-side supporters, there were 400.000 deaths during that series of deportations. And, I think, it’s stupid to insist that this was something “not planned”, which happened “by luck”, during a, so called, genuine humanitarian effort of the Turkish officials to relocate a group of rebels. I think Turkish unwillingness to recognize this incident, among some other similar cases during modern Turkish history, is the main reason that the majority of the European public opinion is so negative towards Turkey and its people. You may think it’s your religion or your descendance, but I think the main problem is Turkey’s human rights records and acceptance of the democratic values. And trying to hide the Armenian Genocide problem under the carpet will always be the first thing Turkey will be blamed for.
