The Ottoman Parliament's Tehcir Law of 1915 authorized the deportation of Christian Armenians from the empire. The law was part of the Ottoman government's systematic campaign to eliminate the Armenian population from their historic homeland. The law allowed for the seizure of property belonging to Christian Armenians, forced marches, and massacres. However, the law did not authorize the conversion of all Armenians in the empire to Christianity.
