In 1915, the Turkish government systematically organised the
wholesale slaughter of a complete race, the Armenians. Under the
cover of World War I, through the secret organisation of unofficial
gangs of Kurds, released prisoners, German officers and Turks who
had lost their lands in the war against the Balkans, over 1 million
Armenians were murdered, starved, raped and left to die. Following
the War, as the Nationalist movement began to rise up from the
ashes of the Ottoman Empire, the allies tried to persecute the
perpetrators of the genocide, in a series of trials where the term
'crimes against humanity' was first used, Turkey was allowed to
hide its recent history. It has remained hidden ever since. As the
nation attempts to enter the European Union, the question of 1915
has become ever more important with the arrest of writers such as
Orhan Pamuk, and the introduction of Turkey into the EU.
