Վանի նահանգի գավառներում հայկական կոտորածների սկզբնավորման հարցի շուրջ

Abstract

Located in the northeastern corner of the Russian-Turkish-Turkish-Persian border, the Armenians of Van province could have caused serious political and military problems for the Turks during the November 1914–1915 movement of the Russian army and Armenian volunteer detachments to Van.That is why the deportations and massacres of the Armenians of Vaspurakan gained momentum especially with the start of hostilities on the Caucasus front, and developed threatening manifestations especially in the second half of November 1914, when more and more national-religious hatred against Armenians and artificial Armenian-Turkish interactions occurred to provoke clashes.
