  Adana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Adana all the houses are flat-topped and the roofs serve as the bedrooms for the inhabitants during the hot summers.
Adana, a modern-day city located on the right bank of the Seyhan River in the Cilician plain, was a caravan stop, river crossing, and frontier outpost protecting Asia Minor from incursions from Syria.
Adana was of little importance in ancient history; Tarsus, Ayas/Issus (today Yumurtalik), and Kozan (formerly Sis) have usually been the major population and administrative centers, especially during the Kingdom of Lesser Armenia.

 Adana Massacre
The atrocities committed in the province of Adana in April 1909 coincided with the counter-revolution staged by supporters of Sultan Abdul Hamid (Abdulhamit) II (1876-1909) who had been forced to restore the Ottoman Constitution as a result of the 1908 Young Turk Revolution led by the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP).
The disturbances were most severe in the city of Adana where a reported 4,437 Armenian dwellings were torched, resulting in the razing of nearly half the town and prompting some to describe the resulting inferno as a "holocaust." The outbreaks spread throughout the district and an estimated 30,000 Armenians were reported killed.
For the Young Turks, the Adana Massacre proved a rehearsal for gauging the depth of Turkish animosity in the Ottoman Empire toward Christian minorities and for testing their skills in marshaling those forces for political ends.

 (TIGRIS-ADANA) Tall Armenian Tale: The Other Side of the Falsified Genocide
The counterrevolution was felt throughout the rest of the country as well, and in Adana, the events led to the massacres of Armenians.
Jemal Pasha writes that in the Adana incident 17,000 Armenians and 1,850 Muslims were killed, and that, had the population ratios been in favour of the Armenians, the statistics would have been reversed.
The Adana incident appears as a case in which Armenians were responsible in so far as they engaged in provocation until it erupted, and the local government was responsible in that it was unable to control it once it happened.

 HyeForum -> Genocide Song "adanayi Voghpe" Distorted
Adana might be called genocide if using the genocide convention, but I use it as Lemkin has intended it to be used, or more as it might be called from the restrictive term.
Holocaust is the burning by fire, and this is why the event of Adana is called the Adana Holocaust, and the events of 1915, and what followed, the Armenian Genocide, or Armenocide.
Adana has been called Holocaust for very long time, even before the Armenian genocide, it has its name, and it is the Adana Holocaust, I think only the term Holocaust is enought strong to show the intensity of the horrors.

 Walloworld: Was the Holocaust "Morally Unique?"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Over at the Truth Laid Bear, N.Z. Bear suggests two things that made the Holocaust worse: (a) that the Nazis wanted to eradicate Jewish culture as well and (b) that the extermination of the Jews was a bad thing from a scientific vantage point as it decreased the genetic diversity of humanity.
I think that the Holocaust reflects the sad susceptibility of the human soul to slip into depravity; I think it is something that we must constantly guard against.
To say that the Holocaust represents the same essential evil potential that exists in all of us is not to cheapen it, nor does putting it as "first among equals" somehow lessen the enormity of what happened in the death camps.

However the use of "Holocaust" with a capital "H" preceded by "the" has entered our lexicon as the commonly accepted term for the Genocide of the Jews and others by the Nazis and there is really nothing you or Armenians can do or say to change such.
As for the publicity of the Holocaust, and the bad humour of steve about the Cards, it is maybe a bad image, but still this is the exact thing that a Jew author say about, the industry of the Holocaust that he categoricaly condemn.
Secondly, "Holocaust" is prewtty much accepted (right or wrong) and use of such has no where the impact (and falseness) of "alleged" before the Genocide.

Impunity allows the perpetrator to justify the crime and emboldens them to act again," said Dadrian, saying he believed the Armenian Genocide was the result of impunity for the 1894-96 massacres and the 1909 Adana massacres which followed.
Dadrian said clear comparisons can be made with the holocaust of the Jews, in that the two genocides were conceived, organized, and carried out by a conspiratorial political party, which gained control over the state, subverted the functions of the state, and criminalized the state.
He said he believed many Holocaust scholars are committing a serious error by refusing to draw comparisons, because it is in through these comparisons that more general lessons can be learned.

There were two large-scale holocausts in the 20th century Europe, one of them implemented by the Nazis against the Jews, and another one by the Bolsheviks against the Ukrainians.
The second aspect and second lesson of the Ukrainian holocaust of 1932-1933 could be called "human" or "humanitarian." Paradoxically enough, those events gave us not only the evidence of brutality, hatred and bestial conduct, of inhuman and anti-human behavior, including cannibalism; those events also gave us exciting examples of human sympathy, solidarity and sacrifice.
