Conflict 
  
10077.14   Europe >  Armenian massacres (1915-1923) 
  
Based on estimates possibly a million died though the Turkish government still denies that it happened despite all evidence to the contrary with massacres of many thousands occurring in Bitlis (June 1915) and Trebizond (July 1915). The hidden nature of the massacres meant that very few photographs survive - this was not an event intended for the newspapers even though over 194 articles have appeared in the New York Times alone and the genocide of the Armenians and the depopulation of areas was reported in 1915. The American Ambassador to the Ottoman Court, Henry Morgenthau, sent a telegram to the U.S. State Department on 20 July 1915 that protested the "race extermination" of the Armenians by the Ottoman government.
