The Armenian Genocide largely happened because the Russians got the Armenians to revolt against the Ottomans. The Ottoman response - to relocate the Armenians away from the front - was consistent with what the Allies were doing with interment camps in Western Europe. The problem with the Ottomans was that they got Kurdish irregulars to do the relocating (these irregulars loathed the Armenians, had a reputation for brutality and had a lot to gain from eliminating the Armenians) and badly mismanaged the logistics of the relocation. The crux of the debate between Turkey and Armenia is whether or not the Ottoman government actually intended that so many people would die as a result of their actions. The Turks claim incompetence while the Armenians claim malice.
