in the Armenian quarter Of thee ity
and assert that the evidence strongly
indicates that the Turks wilfully start
ed the fire The kemalists hatred for
the Armenians is much more intense
than for the Greeks, the observers eX-
plain. and they believe the Turks de-
termned to exterminate the Armen-
ians at the moment of their invasion
After the fire had progressed for a
few hours the wind shifted suddenly
from the north 10 the south, spreading
the flames to the European quarter,
which was soon laid waste and the
Turks it is said then realized their
mistake.

They also believe that the use OF
