Yes it most certainly is a lot of innocent people.
You really are a turkey. Have a look at the footnote in that table in the Wikipedia article for the civilian casualties in the ottoman empire:
wikipedia wrote:Ottoman civilian deaths during World War I were 2,150,000 [36] [16]. Civilian losses were caused by famine, disease which resulted in the deaths of about 1.5 million Armenians.[28]
So of your 2.15 million civilian casualties, 1.5 million were Armenians killed by the ottomans themselves.
Class dismissed!
