Hasanchelebi: A Killing Station for Armenian Men on the Sebastia Deportation Routes
Sukiasyan, Robert · 2024
Sukiasyan reconstructs Hasanchelebi as a principal killing station on the Sebastia (Sivas) deportation routes, where deported Armenian men from Sebastia and surrounding regions were systematically exterminated. Drawing on Armenian survivor testimonies corroborated by Ottoman documents, he traces the phases of atrocity — from the plunder and abuse of women to the mass arrest and execution of men — and argues for the distinctive evidentiary value of Armenian-language sources in documenting the machinery of the genocide.
