There are others who think that the very least the Armenians were forced to leave the lands they lived upon and that the we should call this great tragedy. There Are also those who think that the Armenians cooperated in wartime with the enemies of the state of which they were a part and revolted against it and that consequently many Armenians lost their lives but that this was an inevitable outcome of war and that it should therefore not be referred to as genocide.
