>I just finished reading the historical book: "The Forty Days

You mean 'the Armenian propaganda movie script/fiction.' Is this 'wu'
for real?

"...the Armenians have an extraordinary habit of running into danger 
 without possessing the courage to face it, and the revolutionists from
 abroad were always prepared to provoke a massacre in order to induce 
 the Powers to assist them."

"Dixon-Johnson relates (p. 47) that bands of armed Armenian volunteers were
 already operating in the country as early as March 1915, and Lord Bryce as
 well as the 'Friends of Armenia' were appealing for funds to clothe and 
 equip them...Furthermore, Tsarist Russia was also arming the Armenians and
 assisting in fomenting rebellion. For instance, the Armenians of Van 
 believing, after the Turkish defeat at Sarikamis, that the complete victory
 of Russia was assured, thought that their opportunity had arrived. Urged by 
 the Russian agents and their own revolutionaries, they rose in revolt, and, 
 as a Times correspondent admits, in an unguarded moment, 'finally captured
 the town of Van and took bloody vengeance on their enemies'. In June the 
 Armenians betrayed the town of Van to the Russian troops. Dixon-Johnson admits
 that 'there were organized risings in other parts of Asia Minor also' 
 (p. 48)."

"Henry Wood, the correspondent of the United Press Agency (U. S. A.) reported
 that the Armenians not only were in open revolt but were actually in
 possession of Van and several other important towns. He relates that in
 Zeitun when the Turkish authorities tried to enlist the young Armenians
 for military service, the soldiers were attacked and three-hundred killed."

                      and in whatever circumstances you find them. 
                      Turkish children also should be killed as 
                      they form a danger to the Armenian nation.'
