Genocide/Expulsion

[artavazd]

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.

Yes you are right. However sometimes habits seen in history dont fade out

But yes under UN law the concepts of Mameluks and Jannisaries would be considered Genocide. It was just interesting, because I did not know the " forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." was part of the defenition for Genocide.

Yeah, it's a part of cultural genocide. Happens all the time.
