The correct answer is - The Ottomans attempted to wipe out the Armenians from the face of the Earth.
From some reason, the Armenian genocide, made by the Ottomans, had always been put aside, and it is not even mentioned as a genocide, even though all the evidence suggest that it was a large scale genocide, and in fact, one of the biggest ones in the history.
The Ottomans attacked the Armenians because of two reasons, the first one being that the Armenians wanted to keep their ethnic identity, and the second, being that they didn't wanted to convert to Sunni Islam. Those two reasons angered the nationalist government of the Ottomans, and they went on a full scale genocide, killing everything from babies, to old people, with the estimated deaths being around 1,5 million Armenians in the process.
