Map of the Armenian Genocide in 1915.
Each size shows a massacre. There are three types of massacre: in a control centre (red dot), in a station (pink dot), in a concentration and annihilation center (black dot). The size of the dot shows the relative number of killed Armenians.
Each pair of swords shows an area of Armenian resistance: greater resistance (red swords) or lesser resistance (black swords). The different size of swords is to save space into the map, it means nothing.
Dots in Black Sea representing Armenians (mainly women and children) drowned into the sea (see Armenian Genocide for references).
