It was easy for the Young Turks to expect Turkish Armenians to conspire with pro-Christian Russians against them (though many Turkish Armenians denied any such intention). As far as the Young Turks were concerned, what had long been 'the Armenian Question' had to be answered, now.
In 1915, under the cover of the war, the Ottoman government resolved to expel Turkey's Armenian population (at the time about 1.75m) entirely. Their plan included deportation to the deserts of Syria and Mesopotamia (now Iraq). Hundreds of thousands of Armenians were driven out of their homes and either massacred or force-marched into the desert until they died. The German ambassador to Turkey wrote home:
THE SOUVENIRS OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ARE SO PAINFUL. Criminal turcs,sons of satan,you'll end in hell. Tsavit danem Nanig jan. R.I.P. 1,5 million Armenian Martyrs.
kimin zaim odugunu herkes biiyor siz ne odugunuzu yakın tarihde gösterdiniz hocaı ve karabag katliamı Եթե դուք միանում է վերջին պատմության մեջ մենք տեսել Խոջալուի կեղտոտ դեմքը
