"What happened on April 24, 1915
On April 24, 1915 about 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders were arrested in Constantinople and sent to Çankırı/Chankri and Ayaş/Ayash. Among them the editors and staff of Azadamart (1), the leading Armenian newspaper of Constantinople. The Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople and Zohrab, Armenian deputy in the Ottoman Parliament, petition the Grand Vizier, Said Halim, the Minister of the Interior Talaat, and the President of the Senate, Rifat, on behalf of the arrested Armenians of Constantinople. Though approached separately, all three give identical answers; that the government is isolating the Armenian leadership and dissolving the Armenian political organizations.
The MAM translated documents below with sources indicated from the Ottoman archives do not seem to be the documents of an administration 'hell bent' for the total annihilation of Armenians. This is why calling for discussion can not be labeled as 'Denial'. Let the documents speak.
