Benny Morris and Dror Ze'evi's full-length scholarly history of the Ottoman Empire's destruction of its Armenian, Assyrian and Greek Christian minorities from 1894 to 1924, titled "The Thirty-Year Genocide: Turkey's Destruction of Its Christian Minorities, 1894-1924." Its own summary of the Armenian deportations states that between 800,000 and 1.2 million Armenians, out of a pre-war population of 1.5 to 2 million, were deported in 1915 and 1916, a figure it presents distinctly from its separate death-toll estimate.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
Peer-reviewed-standard academic monograph from a leading university press, synthesizing primary Ottoman, European and Armenian archival sources, matching the tier already given to this axis's other academic monographs (Kevorkian).
Notes
A full-length academic monograph from an established university press by two senior historians of the late Ottoman Empire, synthesizing the wider scholarly literature; used here specifically because it is the one source located whose own figures separate a deportation total from a death total rather than conflating the two, which the Armenian Genocide entry's existing sources (the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum among them) do not do. 1
