Genocide/Expulsion

[Foot]

So would the concept of the Mameluks, and Jannisaries be considered acts of genocide? They were children forcibly transerred from one group to the other.

I'm neither a lawyer or knowledgeable in those areas, however, if that is the case current UN law may view those events as genocide. However, it is important to note that we cannot apply the standards of today to those of yesterday when describing history. The historians role is primarily descriptive, not nominative.
