Between 1915 and 1918, the Ottoman Empire orchestrated the extermination of the Armenians and Assyrians. Branded as rebels, these Christian populations were deported and massacred in a systematic campaign of eradication.

A century later, Ankara remains entrenched in denial.

Yet these genocides have forever reshaped the Middle East and wiped entire communities off the map.
