One
hundred years ago, in 1915, the Ottoman Turkish Empire made the
appalling decision to annihilate its Christian minorities. They chiefly
targeted the Armenians, but also attacked other ancient communities such
as the Assyrians and Maronites. The carnage that began in the Spring of
1915, and reached its height during that year, claimed some two million
dead. Millions of others â€â€œ mainly Greeks â€â€œ were exiled. These events
had an epochal significance, not least in establishing the concept of
genocide on the global stage, and probably inspiring Hitler. - See more
