Why are the armenian, greek and assyrian genocides classified as different events and not part of a single, larger genocide?

r/

The ottomans indiscriminatly killed christians in Anatolia in hopes of creating an homogenou turkish state. The armenian genocide is the most well known and the one with larger death toll, but other christian groups like the greeks and assyrians were not spread either. So why arent these killings all grouped together as part of the same genocide?
