Sayfo was a genocide by the Ottoman Empire in which over 300,000 Assyrians were killed during raids. The Assyrians call it the Sayfo, the Aramaic word for "sword". Many Assyrians were considered unpure by the Turks and were massacred for not giving up Christianity and becoming Muslims.

The first genocide was against Bulgarians. 1913 Ottoman coup d'état (January 23, 1913), also known as the Raid on the Sublime Porte (Turkish: Bâb-ı Âlî Baskını), was a coup d'état carried out in the Ottoman Empire by a number of Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) members led by Ismail Enver Bey and Mehmed Talaat Bey, in which the group made a surprise raid on the central Ottoman government buildings, the Sublime Porte (Turkish: Bâb-ı Âlî). During the coup, the Minister of War, Nazım Pasha, was assassinated and the Grand Vizier, Kâmil Pasha, was forced to resign. After the coup, the government fell into the hands of the CUP, now under the leadership of the triumvirate known as the "Three Pashas", made up of Enver, Talaat, and Cemal Pasha. Young Turks did not accept the capitulation and Treaty of London and encouraged by Greeks, Romanians,Serbians fighting against Bulgaria restarted the war by attacking Bulgarian civilians in Eastern Thrace. Bulgarian men and army were not presented in Eastern Thrace.They were fighting with Serbians and Greeks. Local Greeks cooperated in genocide in Eastern Thrace. They have the role of the ""Kurds'' against Armenians and Assyrians.That was the First systematic genocide of Christians in Ottoman Empire. About 300 000 Bulgarians in Eastern Thrace (European part of Turkey) and another 100 000 who lived in Asia Minor and Constantinople ceased to exist. My great granfather father survived as refugee . Hundreds of thousands of Bulgarians have ancestors who came as refugees from there. YOUNG TURKS the founders of modern Turkey did that. It is not correct to blame on Ottoman Halifate which is not anymore.

[@carlustin4034]

There was a second Balkan war.Greece.Serbia.Romania and Turkey simultaneously attacked Bulgaria from all sides. My grand great father survived refuge from the village Urumbeigli erased from the face of the Earth as hundreds of thousands of Bulgarians have ancestors reffiges survivals of the genocide. Eastern Thrace was vacated by the Bulgarian army which was fighting with Serbia and Greece. And Turkey attacked children,women and elderyand occupied Eastern Thrace. Local Greeks cooperated with Turks. Romania attacked at the same time. You do not have the vague idea about two Balkan wars. Before 1913 there were 400 000 Bulgarians who lived in Eastern Thrace and Asia Minor and Constantinople. No Bulgarian lives there anymore. After First Balkan war There was The 1913 Ottoman coup d'état (January 23, 1913), also known as the Raid on the Sublime Porte (Turkish: Bâb-ı Âlî Baskını), was a coup d'état carried out in the Ottoman Empire by a number of Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) members led by Ismail Enver Bey and Mehmed Talaat Bey, in which the group made a surprise raid on the central Ottoman government buildings, the Sublime Porte (Turkish: Bâb-ı Âlî). During the coup, the Minister of War, Nazım Pasha, was assassinated and the Grand Vizier, Kâmil Pasha, was forced to resign. After the coup, the government fell into the hands of the CUP, now under the leadership of the triumvirate known as the "Three Pashas", made up of Enver, Talaat, and Cemal Pasha. Young Turks did not accept the capitulation and Treathy of London and encouraged by Greeks, Romanians,Serbians restarted the war by attacking Bulgarian civilians in Eastern Thrace . That was First systematic genocide of Christians

[@carlustin4034]

At least read Wikipedia for Second Balkan war 1913 and than expose your ignorance and arrogance'''The lack of resistance to the Romanian invasion convinced the Ottomans to invade the territories just ceded to Bulgaria. The main object of the invasion was the recovery of Edirne (Adrianople), which was held by Major General Vulko Velchev with a mere 4,000 troops.[9] Most Bulgarian forces occupying East Thrace had been withdrawn to face the Serbo-Greek attack earlier in the year. On 12 July, Ottoman troops garrisoning Çatalca and Gelibolu reached the Enos-Midia line and on 20 July 1913 crossed the line and invaded Bulgaria.[9] The entire Ottoman invasion force contained between 200,000 and 250,000 men under the command of Ahmed Izzet Pasha. The 1st Army was stationed at the eastern (Midia) end of the line. From east to west it was followed by the 2nd Army, 3rd Army and 4th Army, which was stationed at Gelibolu.[9] In the face of the advancing Ottomans, the outnumbered Bulgarian forces retreated to the prewar border. Edirne was abandoned on 19 July, but, since the Ottomans did not occupy it immediately, the Bulgarians re-occupied it the next day (20 July). Since it was apparent that the Ottomans were not stopping, it was abandoned a second time on 21 July and occupied by the Ottomans on 23 July.[9] Edirne had been conquered by Sultan Murad I in the 1360s and had served as the first European capital of the Empire before the capture of Constantinople in 1453. Minister of War Enver Pasha called himself the "Second Conqueror of Edirne," although the conquering forces had met no resistance on the way to Edirne.[9] The Ottoman armies did not stop at the old border but crossed into Bulgarian territory. A cavalry unit advanced on Yambol and captured it on 25 July.[9] The Ottoman invasion, more than the Romanian, incited panic among the peasantry, many of whom fled to the mountains. Among the leadership, it was recognized as a complete reversal of fortune. In the words of historian Richard Hall, "[t]he battlefields of eastern Thrace, where so many Bulgarian soldiers had died to win the First Balkan War, were again under Ottoman control."[9] Like the Romanians, the Ottomans suffered no combat casualties but lost 4,000 soldiers to cholera.[9] Some 8000 Armenians fighting for the Ottomans were wounded. The sacrifice of these Armenians was praised greatly in Turkish papers.[41] To help Bulgaria repulse the rapid Ottoman advance in Thrace, Russia threatened to attack the Ottoman Empire through the Caucasus and send its Black Sea Fleet to Constantinople; this caused Britain to intervene. According to the 1918 book Destruction of the Thracian Bulgarians in 1913, Ottoman forces perpetrated atrocities against the Bulgarians in Eastern Thrace during the invasion and aftermath.
