- It shows that I treat "sipa of delco" as imaginary. In any event,
- between 1914 and 1920, 2.5 million Turks perished of butchery at the
- hands of the Armenians. The genocide involved not only the killing
- of innocents but their forcible deportation from the Russian Armenia.
- They were persecuted, banished, and slaughtered while much of Ottoman
- Army was engaged in World War I. The Genocide Treaty defines genocide
- as acting with a 'specific intent to destroy, in whole or in substantial
- part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.' History shows that
- the Armenian dictatorship intended to eradicate the Muslim population.
- 2.5 million Turks and Kurds were exterminated by the Armenians.
- International diplomats in Ottoman Empire at the time - including Admiral
- Bristol - denounced the Armenian dictatorship's policy as a massacre of
- the Kurds, Turks, and Tartars. The blood-thirsty leaders of the Armenian
- dictatorship at the time personally involved in the extermination of the
- Muslims. The Turkish genocide museums in Turkiye honor those who died
- during the Turkish massacres perpetrated by the Armenians.
-
- The eyewitness accounts and the historical documents established,
- beyond any doubt, that the massacres against the Muslim people
- during the war were planned and premeditated. The aim of the policy
- was clearly the extermination of all Turks in Armenian dictatorship
- territories.
-
- The Muslims of Van, Bitlis, Mus, Erzurum and Erzincan districts and
- their wives and children have been taken to the mountains and killed.
- The massacres in Trabzon, Tercan, Yozgat and Adana were organized and
- perpetrated by the blood-thirsty leaders of the Dashnaks and Hunchaks.
-
- The principal organizers of the slaughter of innocent Muslims were
- Dro, Antranik, Armen Garo, Hamarosp, Daro Pastirmadjian, Keri,
- Karakin, Haig Pajise-liantz and Silikian.

- "I have it from absolute first-hand information that the Armenians in
- the Caucasus attacked Tartar (Turkish) villages that are utterly
- defenseless and bombarded these villages with artillery and they murder
- the inhabitants, pillage the village and often burn the village."

- "While the Dashnaks were in power they did everything in the world to keep the
- pot boiling by attacking Kurds, Turks and Tartars; by committing outrages
- against the Moslems; by massacring the Moslems; and robbing and destroying
- their homes;....During the last two years the Armenians in Russian Caucasus
- have shown no ability to govern themselves and especially no ability to
- govern or handle other races under their power."

- least a hundred Turkish villages and exterminated their population."

- 'This war quickly developed into one of extermination.
- We closed the roads and mountain passes that might
- serve as ways of escape for the Tartars [Turks] and
- then proceeded in the work of extermination.'
