Answer:

This is the ninth stage of genocide.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the Armenians were disposed of everything, removed from their homes, and taken away into concentration/labor camps, despite all cruelty there, something even worse was coming. The ninth stage, known as extermination, was knocking on the door and the Turkish government started to systematically kill and deport the Armenian population.

People were pilled up for mass shooting to take place, burned alive, put in enclosures where poisonous gas was let in and they were slowly and agonizingly dying because of it. Tens of thousands of little children were left without their parents and they were deported to other countries or given to people in remote areas that didn't have children.

The end result was a high-scale genocide over an innocent population just because the Turkish government wanted to satisfy its fascist appetites and ideologies. What is also very sad about this genocide is that the international community is still generally not counting it as such, but Turkey gets a free pass over it, very similar to the genocide, exodus, and occupation of territory over the Macedonian people in neighboring Greece.
