Map of The 1915 Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Turkish Empire
This map illustrates three prevailing aspects of the 1915 Armenian Genocide: the deportations, the massacres, and the concentration camps. The deportations affected the
majority of Armenians in the Turkish Empire. From as far north as the Black Sea and as far west as European Turkey, Armenians were forcibly removed to the Syrian
desert. From the onset the deportations were marked by atrocities. At select sites, large scale massacres were carried out. The survivors were dispersed across Syria, Iraq, and
as far south as Palestine (see inset), where they were left in inhospitable places. Starvation, thirst, and epidemic diseases destroyed vast numbers of those confined to these
places of concentration. The deportees in many concentration camps were eventually killed through further massacres, As this map demonstrates, the total effect of the
policies of the Turkish government was the mass destruction of the Armenian people.
