The Destruction of Armenians in Cilicia, April 1909

Hrachik Simonyan's The Destruction of Armenians in Cilicia, April 1909 is a detailed account of the 1909 massacres based on 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.
