This map, created by the Armenian National Institute (ANI) in 1998, shows details of the Armenian genocide, which took place in 1915 in the Ottoman Empire.
The ANI is an organisation created in 1997 in Washington to investigate and raise awareness about the Armenian genocide. Just one year after its creation, the ANI published this map with a somewhat propagandistic tone, seeking not only to inform about the policy of mass deportations, concentration camps and extermination camps for Armenians. The terminology used in the explanatory texts also sought to blame the Turkish elites who ruled the Ottoman Empire in its final years.
The map focuses solely on the Armenian genocide, although other Christian populations such as Assyrians and Orthodox Greeks were also deported and massacred as part of the same policies. The total figures vary, but it is estimated that around one million Armenians, 500,000 Greeks and 250,000 Assyrians were victims of this Ottoman policy.
