The "OG" Armenian Genocide was the Ottoman Turks systematically killing Armenians across much of their historic homeland and other areas the Armenian peoples had lived.
For instance, even today, Jerusalem's old city is divided into four quarters. The Jewish Quarter, Muslim Quarter, Christian Quarter, and ... the Armenian Quarter. Armenians lived all over the Middle East, Egypt, North Africa, Caucuses, etc.
Turkish Nationalists killed a shitload of them.
Today, after Soviet times, the country of Armenia and Azerbaijian (Turks) were split from each other. There is a chunk of Azerbaijan separated from the main part by Armenia. There also WAS a segment of Armenian control within Azerbaijian.
The Azerbaijanis conquered it and now the Armenians are fleeing (or being forced out).
Back around 1990 the Armenians invaded NK, which is Azeri territory, and massacred a bunch of Azeris and committed the same kind of ethnic cleansing they're complaining about now. Back in WW1 they did they same thing against the Ottomans. Armenians' whole schtick is being scumbags and then pretending to be the victim when their opponent returns the favour.
They have powerful lobbies in the US and France so the media tends to lie for them, which this article is an example of.
QRD? I'm not too familiar with the Armenian genocide, and frankly I didn't know it was still happening.

Sad.
what was the reason for the bad blood? is it just a simple race war? a religious dispute? a superiority complex?
