1875 December 1: By order of the Turkish government, the Armenian market district at Van is destroyed by fire with great loss to Armenian property, goods, and businesses. 1878: Russia victorious in Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878. Russo-Turkish Treaty of San Stefano (February 19, 1878) The resulting Congress of Berlin (June 1978) replaces the protective measures of San Stefano under Article 16 with unsatisfactory and ineffective provisions for Armenian people under Article 61, and returns Garin (Erzerum) to Turkey. Russia retains Kars and Ardahan. 1879: Armenian performances are forbidden in Constantinople. The urban Armenian population of Garin and Arabkir come out against the government. 1880: August By special order of the Turkish government, the word "Armenia" is forbidden for use in official documents. 1884: June Armenians protest in Zeitun against oppressive Turkish taxes. 1886: The Turkish government divides Western Armenia administratively into separate vilayets of Erzerum, Garin, Kharput, Diarbekir, Dersim, Bitlis (Baghesh), Van, Hekyari and Sivas (Sebastia). 1888: The Turkish government orders that all Armenian periodicals and magazines in Constantinople and Western Armenia be discontinued. 1890 June 15: An Armenian demonstration in the district of Gum-Gapu in Constantinople is drowned in Armenian blood. 1890 June 18-20: Alleging provocative actions by Armenians, Turkish armed forces and Turkish mobs attack Armenians in Garin (Erzerum). Hundreds of Armenians are killed. 1891 January: The Armenians of Vardenis in Taron are robbed by Turks and their village is destroyed. 1893: Sultan Abdul Hamid II, known as the Bloody Sultan, suspends the Armenian National Constitution, and also discontinues the national parliament in Constantinople, which includes some Armenian representatives. 1894-1896: 300,000 Armenians become the victims of the carnages inflicted by the Turks. In addition, almost as many flee the country. 1900 August: Mothers and children are cut down by sword in Sassun's Spaghanak villages by sudden attacks late at night. 1904 May: 7500 Armenians are slain in Sassun by the Turks. 1908 April 14: Violent outbreaks in Adana (in Cilicia) and in near-by towns, in an attempted counter-revolution by Turks supporting the Sultan. They are soon squelched. 1908 July: Military coup in Salonica by the Young Turk movement (the Union and Progress Party). There begins a brief period of collaboration among Turks, Armenians and other minorities. The subsequent massacres in Adana do not shake this new-found cooperation. 1908 July 24: The Ottoman Constitution is proclaimed. 1909 April 15-25: 30,000 Armenians are slaughtered in Adana, Tarsus and other towns of Cilicia. The Turkish army bears direct responsibility, but the Armenian community is willing to consider it as an isolated incident, and to continue to trust the Young Turks until further events prove otherwise.

Good note, but remember that making this video only tookl from me and easy two weeks time. Plus remember that I could not insert everything inside a small 10 minute time for the video. This video sheds the light from the Armenian perspective though! Thanks for your good notes though.

Excellent work. You shouldn't try to trademark or prevent people from spreading this info though. It would be a tremendous help if you could make the text and pictures used in this video available for distribution. :)Also, what about the Greek community? This movie should cover all Christian groups so we can see the context of Jihad (The struggle against all Kufar) not only the Armenian struggle.Keep up the good work though:)

There are as much documents, films and archival material about the Armenian Genocide as to the Holocaust. You said with your own mouth, Darfour is a GENOCIDE, did Turkey officially declare it as a GENOCIDE against the Sudan? NO! Case in point, why should it!When politician made decisions? in EVERY CASE from the Armenian to the Jewish to the Cambodian, to the Bosnian to the Rwandan to the Darfur Genocides they were ALL MADE by politicians, so stop being a Turkish parrot for your Government.

What about the Persian, Byzantine, Chinese, Incan, Aztec, Russian, Islamic, Mongol and many other empires? That is how you Turks are always... selective, unjust, murderers, and deniers and blood is up to your necks when you drown in it and still claim that you are as "innocent" as doves.

"This was a planned governmental action to kill Armenians, not something that happened randomly. We never had the luxury of growing up with a normal family life with grandparents, aunts or uncles. So many didn't survive." - George Leylegian

coming the the holocaust and Dafour etc, these are cases which are well documented in film, documents by the Nazis etc.about the "thoroughly cleansed" archives, put your documents on the table and claim your rights, that is how you have to do it. just like anyone, if Turkey has to face "facts" other than what they show, so be it. about politicians making decisions on history, you can not be serious! where have you seen that a politicians view/opinion has been accepted what happened in history?
Armenia1968 (August 13, 2008 at 7:29 pm)
Lastly, the rest of the WORLD did speak, when more than 20 democratic countries in the world and 42 states in the USA accepted to the FACT of the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian Genocides. "News" may be to you, but established fact to the rest of the world. You want peace in your heart? admit to the truth and accept to the fact. even 20 years before the Genocide AbdulHamid started his mass killings of annihiliation in which more than 300,000 Armenians died between 1894-1896. Were you aware of it?
Armenia1968 (August 13, 2008 at 7:24 pm)
And to answer you further, SURE politicians have the right to decide on issues, who decided on the Holocaust, the Cambodian, Rwandan and Darfur Genocides? Politicians did! YOU AS A TURK are asking us to review a FACT, that you yourself cannot see. Why don't you ask Jews to sit down with Holocaust deniers and have a "common meeting" to see facts over again? see what they tell you..
Armenia1968 (August 13, 2008 at 7:22 pm)
Now coming to the point of Armenian Goverment, our archives are open to all historians from the world, but for YOUR information, even professors from Germany like Hilmar Kaiser or Ara Sarafian cannot access all documents of the Turkish Government until today.. WHAT HISTORIAN MEETING are you talking about when even mentioning the word "Genocide" is punishable in Turkey under article 301 of "insultng Turkishness".
