Yes

Though Armenia is surrounded by Russia, Turkey, and Azerbaijan and all want to either genocide or at the very least occupy and invade Armenia.

That would be the 3rd genocide against Armenians if they do it. People talk about the Armenian genocide of 1915-1923, that resulted in 1.5 million deaths, but no one ever mentions the Hamidian massacres just 20 years prior, that resulted in up to 300,000 Armenian casualties. It was named after Ottoman sultan Hamid II, who wanted to further islamize the empire. About 25000 Assyrians were also killed.

There definitely seems to be a habit developing in the region, a habit of genociding Armenians.

Edit: I just found this list actually, seems there are even more, and generally caused by anti-christian sentiment.

Took a history course from one of the preeminent scholars of that region and goddamn was it heartbreaking. That Wiki list excludes plenty of pogroms by the Turks against Armenians.

Never had a class like it. Math and econ profs don't take class breaks because the subject matter hits students so hard they openly sob mid-lecture.

I remember following a couple guys to the bathroom just to hug them as they cried and talked of the murders and rapes of their families by Turks, and for the sin of being born.
