Abstract

1915 consisted of tragic days for the Armenian people, when Western Armenians were being violently deported, forced to migrate and massacred. This planned and premeditated policy of genocide by the Young Turk government of the Ottoman Empire was countered by the Armenian people in a number of locations. Our aim is to use historic information about the 1915 heroic self-defense battles, backed by evidence from research, as a means to develop the national self-consciousness of high school students and form part of their patriotic upbringing. The article outlines the technological approaches and methods, ways and means that allow the most modern didactic requirements to be met and to address the scientific, moral and didactic issues that arise given the underlying theme—Armenian-Turkish relations—as well as the age, mindset and individual characteristics of the learners.
