YOU SAID:

The Ottoman Empire was predominantly Islamic, and because of this, many Ottoman laws followed Islamic values. This meant that other “people of the book”, referring to other people who believed in a singular god, would be respected and not harmed. This meant that Christain and Jewish people were treated with respect, given religious freedom, and even integrated into the community and given positions of power in the Ottoman government. Near the decline of the Ottoman Empire, people of other religions or cultural backgrounds were given less respect. In the late Ottoman Empire, Armenians were often exploited, discriminated against, and blamed for the Empire’s decline. After a series of losses in the Balkan wars, violence against Armenians increased and conspiracy theories painted Armenians as traitors and Russian spies. Eventually, the government started systematically arresting, torturing, and finally killing Armenians, killing around 1.5 million Ottoman citizens with Armenian backgrounds. Ottoman officials justified these actions by referencing the Armenians who had worked for Russia in wars in 1915, meaning that Armenians could be considered traitors and guilty of treason. Modern-day Turkey is also majorly Muslim, specifically Sunni. However, there is still a fair amount of religion-based bias, specifically against Alevis. Alevis are a distant branch of Islam that focuses on 12 deities instead of one god. Alevis have existed in Turkey since it was part of the Ottoman Empire, and make up 15-25% of Turkish citizens. However, Alevis have been the target of violence and discrimination in schools for years. In 2009, there was one of the first real efforts by the government to try and solve these problems.
