A key question is whether the fate of the Assyrians maps onto the concepts used within international law and diplomatic history to study group violence. In this light, and including its Armenian and Greek victims, the Ottoman Christian Genocide rivals the Rwandan and Biafran genocides. Scholars from around the world have collaborated to approach these issues by reference to international legal materials, diplomatic and political archives, and literary works Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Genocide -- Turkey -- History -- 20th century Genocide -- Iraq -- History -- 20th century Assyrians -- Turkey -- History -- 20th century Assyrians -- Iraq -- History -- 20th century Minorities -- Turkey -- History -- 20th century Minorities -- Iraq -- History -- 20th century Christians -- Turkey -- History -- 20th century Christians -- Iraq -- History -- 20th century SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Discrimination & Race Relations.
