Informative Speech On Armenian Genocide

During the First World War, as the days passed, the male contingent of the caravan got lesser and lesser. Under the excuse of not killing them if they would relinquish their liras, gold coins, men would be evoked of the little money they had if they even had any only to be killed anyways. Days passed and those who couldn’t keep up were put out of their suffering.

Bodies were always found scattered by the wayside. While we were at one place, my grandmother loudly cursed the Turkish government for its ruthlessness. My grandmother would point at us children and would ask: “What is the fault of children to be subjected to such suffering?” That statement seemed like too much for a gendarme to bear.
