1909 massacres of Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek civilians by Ottoman Muslims

The Adana massacre occurred in the Adana vilayet of the Ottoman Empire in April 1909. Many Armenians were slain by Ottoman Muslims in the city of Adana as the Ottoman countercoup of 1909 triggered a series of pogroms throughout the province. Between 20,000 and 30,000 ethnic Armenians, 1,300 Assyrians and 1,250 Greeks were killed and tortured in Adana and the surrounding towns.
