Notes
- 1.
We refer to the years 1915–1916 because the political and operative decisions on the elimination of the Armenians from the territory of the Ottoman Empire were all taken in this range of time. Moreover, the core of the deportations and the killings took place in those two years. Many refer to 1923 as the final year of the “Armenian genocide”, when the Treaty of Lausanne was concluded. Others refer to 1918, i.e. the end of World War I.
