Well made historical background on what happened 100 years ago when Ottoman Turk Muslims decided to eradicate a country, a people, and a church. The atrocities described herein are quite horrific, but the truth of what our brothers and sisters in Christ suffered during those dark days....
This genocide was committed against the Assyrian population of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the First World War by the Young Turks. The Assyrian population of northern Mesopotamia was forcibly relocated and massacred by Ottoman (Turkish and Kurdish) forces between 1914 and 1920. This genocide is part of the same policy of extermination aimed against Armenians and Pontic Greeks.
