2,000 Armenians assembled in Constantinople
Time: Tuesday Oct 1, 1895
Place: Turkey (then Ottoman Empire)
Details: On 1 October 1895, 2,000 Armenians assembled in Constantinople to petition for the implementation of the reforms, but Ottoman police units violently broke the rally up. Soon, massacres of Armenians broke out in Constantinople and then engulfed the rest of the Armenian-populated provinces of Bitlis, Diyarbekir, Erzurum, Harput, Sivas, Trabzon, and Van. Estimates differ on how many Armenians were killed, but European documentation of the pogroms, which became known as the Hamidian massacres, placed the figures at between 100,000 and 300,000.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
