The city was renamed Yerevan (Ереван) in 1936. Ernest Alfred Yarrow (21 February 1876 – 26 October 1939) was a Christian missionary and a witness to the main Armenian Genocide of 1915. He is also known for his leadership of a relief effort carried out by the Near East Foundation that saved and cared for tens of thousands of Armenian refugees.

See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adana_massacre
"The Adana massacre (Armenian: Ադանայի կոտորած, Turkish: Adana Katliamı) occurred in the Adana Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire in April 1909. A massacre of Armenian Christians by Ottoman Muslims in the city of Adana amidst the Ottoman countercoup of 1909 expanded to a series of anti-Armenian pogroms throughout the province. Around 20,000 to 25,000 people were killed in Adana and surrounding towns, mostly Armenians; it was reported that about 1,300 Assyrians were also killed during the massacres."

There are more than a few mosques and minarets in Adana. I believe this is the Kemeralti Cami. Another view:
