Sasun, a region of Anatolia formerly under Ottoman rule and today
part of eastern Turkey, is frequently described as the site where,
in 1894, the Turks massacred large numbers of Armenian Christians,
with estimates ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 people. News reports at
the time detailed that gruesome acts, including torture, had
occurred at Sasun at the hands of the Ottoman army. The Ottoman
Empire denied these allegations. A commission of European delegates
sent to investigate the matter concluded that the news reports were
highly exaggerated, yet the original stories of atrocities have
persisted. This volume provides a close examination of the
historical evidence to shed light on what happened at Sasun. The
authors' research indicates that the stories circulated by the
media of torture and murder in Sasun don't hold up against the
findings of the European investigators. Evidence instead shows that
an Armenian revolt led to fights with local Kurds and many fewer
deaths, on both sides, and that the conflict had largely subsided
before the arrival of the Ottoman army.
