Background

Armenians were forcibly deported from their homeland in Anatolia during the Armenian Genocide in 1915-1918, and never allowed to return.Nations Abroad: diaspora politics and international relations in the Former Soviet Union - Page 96 by Neil J. Melvin, Charles King Western Armenians consider Armenians who assimilate within the local population of the country where they were eventually forced to emigrate (such as France, USA, Argentina, etc.) as lost to their nation due to the continuing exile after the actual genocide itself, and thus consider that lost Armenian to be another victim of the genocidal attempt to eliminate the Armenians.Survivors: An Oral History Of The Armenian Genocide - Page 166 by Donald Eugene Miller, Lorna Touryan MillerDiaspora, Identity and Religion: new directions in theory and research - Page 72
by Waltraud Kokot The term White Genocide was also used for the regions of Nagorno-Karabakh and Nakhichevan where Armenians were forcibly deported and cleansed from the regions. "Gha-Ra-Bagh": The Emergence of the National Democratic Movement in Armenia - Page 56 by Mark Malkasian
