I noticed that opinions on sites about the causes of the Armenian Genocide varies. I would like to know what the real causes for the Armenian Genocide are?

The main cause i think was the jealousey of converted "Turk"s against the unconverted christian population's "SPECIAL" treatment and wealth."All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

How does a society justify the psychopathic act of genocide?
Genocide can be seen as a useful tool for social restructuring. Perceived benefits of the Armenian Genocide included:
Producing a scapegoat to blame for current problems.
Looting the victims to defray the war debt and enrich the Young Turks leaders.
Eliminating a "foreign" element to create a "pure" Turkish nation-state.
Producing a large number of uninhabited homes to house the Muslim refugees from the Caucasus and Balkans.
Repopulating Eastern Turkey with the refugee Turks, thus safeguarding the eastern border.
Co-opting the general population to support the ideology of the Young Turks by appealing to their greed, religious fanaticism or lust.
Eliminating a population barrier to the creation of a "Turanian" state stretching from Istanbul to Baku.
Producing economic opportunities to create a Turkish middle class by eliminating the Armenian prominence in many trades and professions.
Eliminating a potential justification for intervention in Turkey by outside European powers.
Producing a "victory" in the war to counter loss of prestige due to the defeat in the Caucasus.
The Armenian Genocide was a methodical, premeditated evil plan to advance the goal of Pan-Turanism in the most cold-blooded fashion. Given the lack of response by Western powers to earlier massacres, the Young Turks safely assumed that there would be few long-term consequences of their crimes. From their point of view, the Armenian Genocide was a stunning success politically, economically and demographically.

I have addressed this issue at some length in a thread I started here a few months ago. I would hope that the Turks who visit here and spew their misguided and uniformed denial will take the time to read and reflect on the presentation made in this thread.
