Who attempted to exterinate Armenians?

The attempt to exterminate Armenians was primarily carried out by the Ottoman Empire during World War I, particularly between 1915 and 1923. This campaign, known as the Armenian Genocide, involved mass deportations, killings, and forced marches that led to the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians. The genocide is recognized by many countries and historians as one of the first modern genocides.
