Pass the scholarly sources, please. The British first subjected the Armenians 
to intense propaganda and then directed them to attack Turkish targets.
The pressing reason for this policy was to enable them to take 
Eastern Anatolia and Caucasia without transgressing the conditions
of the Mondros Armistice. It is on the record that the British said 
to local Armenians, 

'You kill the Muslims and we will supply you with arms and ammunition.'[1]

Armenian volunteers concentrated at the Turkish border in Caucasia,[2]
and then attacked Van,[3] Bitlis,[4] Nakhichevan,[4] Beyazit,[5] and
Kars and Erzurum.[6] The Commander for the 15th Army Corps wrote that 
Armenian units had attacked many Turkish villages with artillery and 
machine guns, that the local people's goods and animals had been usurped, 
that young women had been taken away, the women and children had been 
tortured to death in the mountains, that these attacks on the properties, 
lives and honor of the Muslims were still being perpetrated.[7]

It is also on the record that Armenians were often given British 
uniforms and that in most cases those Armenians who knew English
were made officers. Kazim Karabekir Pasha complained about these 
practices to Lieutenant-Colonel Rawlinson who came to Anatolia to
demobilize the Turkish army but became its hostage after the Turkish
national struggle for independence began. Although Rawlinson at 
first did not want to believe the Turkish genocide, at the end
he could not help talking about the Armenian genocide of 2.5 million
Muslims in his memoirs. Kazim Karabekir appealed in desperation 
to him to stop the genocide against the Muslim Turkish people.
This appeal by Kazim Karabekir was left unanswered.
