*For a different report one might turn to the Encyclopaedia Britannica: “In 1915 the Turks, regarding the Armenians, despite pledges of loyalty, as a dangerous foreign element with friends among the enemies who had launched a campaign against the Dardanelles and with brothers in the Russian armies on their eastern front, decided to deport the whole Armenian population of about 1,750,000 to Syria and Mesopotamia. The operation was carried out with the utmost barbarity. It is estimated that about 600,000 Armenians died or were massacred en route. About one-third escaped deportation.”
