- ... that the July 2014 attack against the Ottoman Greeks of Phocaea, Turkey (pictured) as part of the Ottoman policy of ethnic cleansing, closely resembled similar operations against Armenians?

I'm a little concerned regarding the use of the term "eastern Anatolia" in reference to the Armenian-populated parts of Turkey (which Europeans in pre-WWI period virtually always called "Turkish Armenia" or simply "Armenia"). By definition, Anatolia doesn't include Van, Bitlis, Erzurum and other cities which were prominent centers of the Armenian population. I'm not sure what it should be replaced with , but here's one suggestion: "closely resembled similar operations against Armenians in eastern provinces of the empire"? --Երևանցի talk 18:30, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
New enough (nominated two days after creation), long enough (5,400+ characters). The entire article is sourced with academic publications. The hook is sourced as well. QPQ done. AGF on offline paraphrasing. Image seems to be OK to use. --Երևանցի talk 22:17, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
- Historical geographic terms are usually problematic in terms of 20th-21st-century administration. I believe it will be better to remove this tiny part from the hook.Alexikoua (talk) 09:30, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
