One of the greatest massacres in late Ottoman history took place
in April 1909, when Armenians were the target of two massive waves
of violence organized by Ottoman authorities. These massacres took
place in Cilicia (i.e. Adana province and surrounding areas) with an
estimated 30,000 victims plus huge material losses. Most Armenian
historians consider these massacres to have been a prelude to the
Armenian Genocide of 1915.
Hrachik Simonyan~Rs The Destruction of Armenians in Cilicia, April
1909 is a detailed account of the 1909 massacres based mainly on a
range of Armenian primary and secondary sources. His work helps us to
better understand the victimization of Armenians and the polarization
of Ottoman society along ethno-religious lines barely a year after
the Ottoman constitutional revolution of 1908.
