Press coverage of the Armenian genocide

This page has a selected list of press headlines related to the Armenian genocide from newspaper archives. The sources before 1914 relate to the Adana massacre and the Hamidian massacres. 

Before Raphael Lemkin coined the term genocide in 1943, such events were described using words like 'massacre,' 'murder,' 'slaughter,' 'systematic massacre,' 'extermination,' 'atrocities,' and 'war crimes.'

List

The list also includes press coverage of the massacres before the Armenian genocide, including the Adana massacre and the Hamidian massacres. Such massacres are seen by scholars as the start of the attempted elimination of Armenians, which peaked in the Armenian genocide in 1915. Vahakn N.
