The Tirikan Genocide (also sometimes known as the Gurriana Genocide or the Tirikan Massacre) was the systematic mass murder over 110,000 ethnic Gurriana people carried out in Tirikan and adjoining regions in western Syraranto by the forces of Kyriakos Tasoulas just prior to and during the country's civil war. The starting date is disputed, though conventionally held to be May 11th, 2020, when regime forces instituted a crackdown on demonstrators who were protesting Tasoulas' government.
