Cinis Martyrs' Cemetery (Turkish: Cinis Şehitliği) is a memorial located in the village of Ortabache in Erzurum Province, Turkey. It commemorates the 587 Muslim villagers who were killed during the events of 1916–1918 in the aftermath of World War I.[1][2][3][4]
History
[edit]During the period of 1916–1918, the region experienced intense conflict as part of the larger struggles of World War I and the Russian occupation of Eastern Anatolia.[5] According to historical accounts, Armenian forces killed many local Muslim villagers, with reports indicating that victims were gathered in places such as mosques and homes before being massacred.[6] The fallen were later buried in mass graves, which now form the Cinis Martyrs' Cemetery.
Memorial
[edit]The cemetery stands as a reminder of the tragic events that took place in Ortabahce and serves as a place of remembrance for the descendants of the victims and the wider community. It is one of many martyrdom sites in Turkey dedicated to civilians and soldiers who lost their lives in periods of war and conflict.[7]
