Years: 1895 - 1895
The French vice consul of Diyarbakır, Gustave Meyrier, recounts to Ambassador Paul Cambon stories of Armenian women and children being assaulted and killed and described the attackers "as cowardly as they were cruel. They refused to attack where people defended themselves and instead concentrated on defenseless districts."
The worst atrocity takes place in Urfa, where Ottoman troops burn the Armenian cathedral, in which three thousand Armenians have taken refuge, and shoot at anyone who tries to escape.
