    Two passes through the kill zone north of Khojaly by the Azerbaijani-Russian war journalist Chingiz Mustafayev. The footage globalised Khojaly. The discrepancies between his two films, particularly in the position and condition of bodies, became the evidentiary core of later Armenian-side denial of mutilations. Original master tapes held by the Mustafayev family; widely redistributed in Azerbaijani state and diasporic media. Mustafayev was killed in fighting in June 1992.

    The standard demographic study based on Ottoman state censuses 1830-1914. Tabulates millet-by-vilayet population. Used here for Western Anatolian vilayet figures pre-1915. Karpat's figures are lower than the Armenian Patriarchate count and are themselves debated; the atlas presents both where they diverge.

    book turkish-leaning

    McCarthy quantifies Muslim displacement and death in the 19th and early 20th c., arguing for symmetrical loss between Muslim and Christian Ottoman subjects. Mainstream Anglophone genocide scholarship treats his framing of 1915 as denialist; his 19th-century Caucasus-Balkans Muslim-displacement figures are nevertheless used in the literature alongside Karpat. Cited here for the Russian-Caucasian War expulsion of Circassians and Crimean Tatars and the end-of-empire Muslim displacement that the atlas otherwise references in passing.

    Memoir-biography of Monte Melkonian by his philosopher-brother Markar. The most consequential Armenian-side documentary engagement with the conduct of the First Karabakh War. Contains a near-attribution of the second-day Khojaly killings to a specific Armenian unit ("Aroshyan boys"). Source-quality is mixed — based on Monte's letters and Markar's reconstructions — but the candour about Armenian-side conduct is unusual in the war's Armenian-language literature.
