Regular slaughters of Armenians in Bayazid (1877), Alashgurd (1879), Sassun (1894), Constantinople (1896), Adana (1909) and Armenia itself (1895-96) claimed a total of two hundred thousand lives, but they were only rehearsals for the genocide of 1915.

My maternal grandmother witnessed the Constantinople massacre as a young girl.

Snip

In this period, the burning of the Greek city of Smyrna and the massacre and scattering of its three hundred thousand Christian inhabitants is one of the most poignant ? if not, after the vast outrages of the 20th century, the bloodiest ? crimes in all history. It marked the end of the Greek community in Asia Minor.

My uncle was one of the victims decapitated as he tried to flee to Greece.

How long will it take for the FR turkophiles to discredit this article and tell us that these events never ocurred?
