given4their verdict in the Armenian
question without hearing the Turk
ish side.
Consequently, there are in the AM
erican press and public opinion ideas
totally unjust to the Turks:
In order to understand the situa-
tion rightly, one has to- knows first
of all, that historically the Turks
were the. most humane conquering
race "imaginableA 5.
At time when they had every op-
portunity of assimilating the con-
quered races by force, they gave them
freedom of religion, Language and free
community organizations
Had the Turks behaved as -; the
| Spaniards have against ,dissenters in
religion or race, there would be no
Armenians and no Armenian ques-
! ton today. - s-*
After the Young-Turkish revolu-
ton in 1908, the Christians acquired
| absolute equality with the Turks.
Their revolutionary activity under
the reign of the former sultan was
ascribed to their desire for equal
rights of citizenship It soon became
clear that they thought of equal
rights only as means to the end of
national independent existence.
Instead of taking advantage of the
new opportunity they had to become
lawful Ottoman citizens, they estab-
lished secret societies.. made a. large
revolutionary organization in the
country and distributed arms and
bombs among their members.
The. first duty of every state is to
insure its Independence Therefore,
Turkey had to resort to all the neces-
sary measures for this important end
Among the non-Turkish races the
Armenians were the nearest to the
Turks in regard to their spoken Ian
guage and social habits.
Several decades ago, when they had
|
not yet begun their revolutionary &C.
tivity, they enjoyed the full conf
dence of the Turks, and they were
always called by the Turkish press
"our faithful fellow citizens, the Ar
menians."
In abusing the confidence of the
Turks, the Armenians went further
| than the other Christian races.
| Especially, during the present war
they did not shrink from open trea-
son, and tried to endanger from with.
in the existence of their country
which was engaged in a fight for life
or death at four different fronts, with
powerful enemies, and caused the new
! Armenian troubles.
