Why was the ottoman empire able to commit a genocide against armenian people during the war?

helloo!!

Explanation:

The Armenian genocide was the systematic killing and deportation of Armenians by the Turks of the Ottoman Empire.  

In 1915, during World War I, leaders of the Turkish government set in motion a plan to expel and massacre Armenians.  

Armenian Genocide  

The Armenian genocide began on April 24, 1915. That day, the Turkish government arrested and executed several hundred Armenian intellectuals.

After that, ordinary Armenians were turned out of their homes and sent on death marches through the Mesopotamian desert without food or water.

At the same time, the Young Turks created a “Special Organization,” which in turn organized “killing squads” or “butcher battalions” to carry out, as one officer put it, “the liquidation of the Christian elements.”

These killing squads were often made up of murderers and other ex-convicts. They drowned people in rivers, threw them off cliffs, crucified them and burned them alive. In short order, the Turkish countryside was littered with Armenian corpses.

Though reports vary, most sources agree that there were about 2 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire at the time of the massacre. In 1922, when the genocide was over, there were just 388,000 Armenians remaining in the Ottoman Empire.
