Question: The sultan who ordered the extermination of specific Armenian districts in the Ottoman Empire in 1895 ws deposed on what date?
Context: The Armenian Genocide (Armenian: Հայոց ցեղասպանություն , "Hayots tseghaspanutyun"), also known as the Armenian Holocaust, was the Ottoman government's systematic extermination of 1.5 million Armenians, mostly Ottoman citizens within the Ottoman Empire and its successor state, the Republic of Turkey.  The starting date is conventionally held to be 24 April 1915, the day that Ottoman authorities rounded up, arrested, and deported 235 to 270 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders from Constantinople to the region of Ankara, the majority of whom were eventually murdered.  The genocide was carried out during and after World War I and implemented in two phases—the wholesale killing of the able-bodied male population through massacre and subjection of army conscripts to forced labour, followed by the deportation of women, children, the elderly, and the infirm on death marches leading to the Syrian Desert.  Driven forward by military escorts, the deportees were deprived of food and water and subjected to periodic robbery, rape, and massacre.  Other indigenous and Christian ethnic groups, such as the Assyrians and the Ottoman Greeks, were similarly targeted for extermination by the Ottoman government in the Assyrian genocide and the Greek genocide, and their treatment is considered by some historians to be part of the same genocidal policy.  Most Armenian diaspora communities around the world came into being as a direct result of the genocide. Hürrem Sultan (] , Ottoman Turkish: خرم سلطان‎ , "Ḫurrem Sulṭān"; 1502 – 15 April 1558) was the favourite and later the chief consort and legal wife of Ottoman Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent.  She had six children with Süleyman: Şehzade Mehmed, Mihrimah Sultan, Şehzade Abdullah, Sultan Selim II, Şehzade Bayezid, and Şehzade Cihangir.  She was one of the most powerful and influential women in Ottoman history and a prominent and controversial figure during the era known as the Sultanate of Women.  She was "Haseki Sultan" (favorite of the Sultan) when her husband, Süleyman I, reigned as the Ottoman sultan.  She achieved power and influenced the politics of the Ottoman Empire through her husband and played an active role in state affairs of the Empire. The Defense of Van (also known as the Siege of Van or Van Resistance to the Armenians (Armenian: Վանի հերոսամարտ "Vani herosamart") was a self-defensive measure by the Armenian population of Van against the Ottoman Empire.  Armenian forces fought against the attempts to massacre the Armenian population in the Van Vilayet.  The resistance broke out during the Caucasus Campaign, in which the Dashnak militias were supported by the Imperial Russian army to defend the Ottoman Armenian population.  Such measures had not been intended or planned by the Armenians.  Several contemporaneous observers and later historians have concluded that the Ottoman government deliberately instigated the armed Armenian resistance by enforcing the conditions on their subjects and then used this insurgency as a main pretext to justify the forced deportations of Armenians from all over the empire.  However, the decisions of deportation and extermination were made before the Van resistance. The Treaty of London was signed by the United Kingdom, France, and Russia on 6 July 1827.  The three main European powers had called upon Greece and the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) to cease hostilities that had been going on since the Greeks had revolted against Ottoman rule on 6 March 1821.  After years of negotiation, the European allied powers had finally decided to intervene in the war on the side of the Greeks.  The allied powers mainly wanted this treaty to cause the Ottoman Empire to create an independent Greek state.  It stated that while the Ottoman Empire should recognize the independence of Greece, the Sultan would be the supreme ruler of Greece.  The treaty declared the intention of the three Allied powers to mediate between the Greeks and the Ottoman Turks.  The base arrangement was that Greece would become a dependency of Turkey and pay tribute as such Additional articles were added to detail the response should the Turkish Sultan refuse the offer of mediation and continue hostilities in Greece.  These articles detailed that the Turks had 1 month to accept the mediation or that the Allied powers would form a partnership with the Greeks through commercial relations.  Measures were also adopted that if the Ottoman Sultan refused the armistice, the Allies would use the appropriate force to ensure the adoption of the armistice. Krikor Amirian was born on June 20, 1888, in Bayburt, Turkey.  The Amirian family had been influential citizens in Bayburt.  Amirian had grown up during the Hamidian Massacres, which was a tumultuous period in Armenian history.  In early 1895, Sultan Abdul Hamid II ordered the extermination of specific Armenian districts in the Ottoman Empire.  He had ordered thousands of Turkish troops to take control of Bayburt, because it was one of the most heavily populated Armenian cities on the eastern side of the Ottoman Empire.  When Turkish troops had entered the city, a massive revolt erupted on October 26, 1895.  After relentless fighting, the Armenian rebels wanted to make peace with its invaders.  Eryia Amirian, Amirian's father, was chosen to represent the city in order to negotiate a truce with Ottoman officials.  Instead, he was shot and left on the side of a road to die.  The next day, he was eventually found and given a proper burial. Armenakis Yekarian (Armenian: Արմենակ Եկարյան ; 1870–1926) was an Armenian "fedayee".  Yekarian was born in Van, Ottoman Empire.  He joined the Armenian national liberation movement through the ranks of the Armenakans in 1888.  His early education was at Varagavank monastery.  In 1896, during the defense of Van, he obtaining weapons from Persia to organize self-defense in the city.  He was imprisoned with 40 of his comrades and then released at the end of the conflict.  Thereafter, he left the Ottoman Empire as required by the Sultan.  He took refuge in Urmia in Persia.  After the deposition of the Sultan by the Young Turk Revolution, he returned to Van in 1908.  He joined the Van resistance in 1915.  After the Armenian victory, they set up an Armenian provisional government, with Aram Manukian at its head.  Armenak Yekarian became the police chief.  Aram Manoukian, Armenak Yekarian and others tried to give a national-civil character to the exclusively militarized administration.  In 1922, he emigrated with his family to Cairo, Egypt, where he died in 1926.  His family moved to Soviet Armenia in 1947. Abdul Hamid II (Ottoman Turkish: عبد الحميد ثانی‎ , "`Abdü’l-Ḥamīd-i sânî"; Turkish: "İkinci Abdülhamit" ; 21 September 184210 February 1918) was the 34th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and the last Sultan to exert effective control over the fracturing state.  He oversaw a period of decline.  He ruled from 31 August 1876 until he was deposed shortly after the 1908 Young Turk Revolution, on 27 April 1909.  In accordance with an agreement made with the republican Young Ottomans, he promulgated the first Ottoman constitution of 1876 on 23 December 1876, which was a sign of progressive thinking that marked his early rule.  Later, however, he noticed Western influence on Ottoman affairs and citing disagreements with Parliament, suspended both the short-lived constitution and Parliament in 1878 and accomplished highly effective power and control. Abdülmecid I (Ottoman Turkish: عبد المجيد اول "‘Abdü’l-Mecīd-i evvel"; 23/25 April 182325 June 1861), also known as Abdulmejid and similar spellings, was the 31st Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and succeeded his father Mahmud II on 2 July 1839.  His reign was notable for the rise of nationalist movements within the empire's territories.  Abdulmejid wanted to encourage Ottomanism among the secessionist subject nations and stop the rise of nationalist movements within the empire, but failed to succeed despite trying to integrate non-Muslims and non-Turks more thoroughly into Ottoman society with new laws and reforms.  He tried to forge alliances with the major powers of Western Europe, namely the United Kingdom and France, who fought alongside the Ottoman Empire in the Crimean War against Russia.  In the following Congress of Paris on 30 March 1856, the Ottoman Empire was officially included among the European family of nations.  Abdulmejid's biggest achievement was the announcement and application of the Tanzimat "(reorganization)" reforms which were prepared by his father and effectively started the modernization of the Ottoman Empire in 1839.  For this achievement, one of the Imperial anthems of the Ottoman Empire, the March of Abdulmejid, was named after him. Selim III (Ottoman Turkish: سليم ثالث "Selīm-i sālis") (24 December 1761 – 28 July 1808) was the reform-minded Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1789 to 1807.  The Janissaries eventually deposed and imprisoned him, and placed his cousin Mustafa on the throne as Mustafa IV.  Selim was killed by a group of assassins subsequenSelim III was the son of Sultan Mustafa III and his wife Mihrişah Sultan.  His mother Mihrişah Sultan originated in Georgia and when she became the Valide Sultan, she participated in reforming the government schools and establishing political corporations.  His father Ottoman Sultan Mustafa III was very well educated and believed in the necessity of reforms.  Mustafa III attempted to create a powerful army during the peacetime with professional, well-educated soldiers.  This was primarily motivated by his fear of a Russian invasion.  During the Turko-Russian War he fell ill and died of a heart attack in 1774.  Sultan Mustafa was aware of the fact that a military reform was necessary.  He declared new military regulations and opened maritime and artillery academies. The Armenian resistance is a name given to the military and political activities of the Armenians under the Armenian political parties of Henchak, Armenakan, Dashnaktsutiun against the Ottoman Empire during World War I, considered a struggle for freedom and resistance to the Armenian Genocide by the Armenian combatants, but high treason by the Ottoman Empire.  These Armenian national organizations established Armenian fedayeen (Armenian: Ֆէտայի ) generally referred to as Armenian irregular units and the Russian Empire formed Armenian volunteer units, which recruited Ottoman Armenians from behind the Ottoman lines, to help the Russian Caucasus Army against the Ottoman Empire.  During this period the Siege of Van on April 20, 1915, and consequent establishment of the Administration for Western Armenia were significant events.  The Ottoman Minister of Interior Mehmed Talat Pasha considered the Armenian population a fifth column within the Empire, blaming the rise of the Armenian national liberation movement for the overall unrest inside the Empire in his that ended with arrests in Red Sunday.
