The genocide of the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire

© B. Kouyoumdjian

During the First World War, the Union and Progress committee, a party-state with exclusive nationalism governing the Ottoman Empire, implemented the systematic destruction of its Armenian and Syriac subjects, thus breaking with the multi-ethnic imperial tradition.

The context of war was the necessary condition, conducive to these planned mass violence that were carried out in two stages: from April to October 1915 and then from March to December 1916. Forbidden to return by the Kemalist republic, the survivors and their descendants now form a global diaspora.
