The genocidekillings waswere carried out during and after [[World War I]]. andThe 1915 genocide was implemented in two phases: the wholesale killing of the able-bodied male population through massacre and subjection of army conscripts to forced labour, followed by the deportation of women, children, the elderly and infirm on [[death march]]es leading to the [[Syrian desert]]. Driven forward by military escorts, the deportees were deprived of food and water and subjected to periodic robbery, rape, and massacre.<ref>{{Citation|first1=Hans-Lukas|last1=Kieser|first2=Dominik J.|last2=Schaller|language=German|title=Der Völkermord an den Armeniern und die Shoah|trans_title=The Armenian genocide and the Shoah|publisher=Chronos|year=2002|isbn=3-0340-0561-X|page=114}}</ref><ref>{{Citation | title = Armenia: The Survival of A Nation | first = Christopher J. | last = Walker | publisher = Croom Helm | place = London | year = 1980 | pages = 200–3}}</ref><ref>{{Citation | title = The Treatment of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, 1915–1916: Documents Presented to Viscount Grey of Falloden | first1 = Viscount James | last1 = Bryce | authorlink= James Bryce, 1st Viscount Bryce | first2 = Arnold | last2 = Toynbee | edition = uncensored | editor-first = Ara | editor-last = Sarafian | place = Princeton, [[New Jersey|NJ]] | publisher = Gomidas | year = 2000 | isbn = 0-9535191-5-5 | pages = 635–49}}</ref> Other [[indigenous peoples|indigenous]] and Christian ethnic groups such as the [[Assyrian Genocide|Assyrians]] and the [[Greek genocide|Ottoman Greeks were similarly _targeted]] for extermination by the [[Imperial Government (Ottoman Empire)|Ottoman government]], and their treatment is considered by many historians to be part of the same genocidal policy.
