However, most estimates put the number of Armenian deaths at between 1 million and 1.5 million people.

This represents a significant proportion of the Armenian population at the time, which was estimated to be around 2 million people.

Many Armenians were killed as part of a deliberate and systematic campaign of extermination carried out by the Ottoman government.

While the majority of those who died were Armenian, other groups, such as Assyrians and Greeks, were also targeted by the Ottoman government during this time.

The Armenian Genocide remains an important reminder of the devastating impact of prejudice, discrimination, and violence, and the ongoing struggle for justice and accountability.
