ARMENIAN RIGHTS
Determined That Wrongs
Suffered at Hands of Turks
Shall Be Righted.
TO PREVENT RECURRENCE

LONDON. October 90 Correspond
British government is determined
that the wrongs suffered by the Ar
menians at the hands of the Turks
shall &c righted and their recurrence
made impossible writes Lord Robert
Cecil. the parliamentary undersecre-
tary of state for foreign affairs, to
Viscount Bryce.
-Four points mentioned by Lord
Cecil as the charter of the Armcnians'
right to liberation at the hands of
the allies are: peg
: 1.-The refusal of the Armenians as
nation in the fall of 1914 to work
for the cause of Turkey and her
allies. although offers of autonomy
were made if they actively assisted
Turkey in the war.
Partly on account of this coura
geous refusal. the Ottoman Armenians
were Systematically murdered 10y the
Turkish government in 1915. two
thirds of the population being eA-
terminated by most coid-blooded and
ficndish methods. 1oo.ono men, women
and children being killed.
From the beginning of the war
that half of the Armenian nation
under Russian sovereignty organized
volunteer corps and bore the brunt
of some of the heaviest fighting in
Caucasia under their leader. Andranik.
These same Armenian corps. after
the Russian breakdown. took over the
Caucasian front. and for five months
held up the Turkish advance. and
thus rendered important service TO
the British in Mesopotamia."
Lord Robert Cecil adds that Ar
menians are still lighting in Syria
and have been taking part in the
Palestine campaign.
