Օսմանյան կառավարության որոշումը հայերի տեղահանության մասին (1915 թ. մայիսի 30)

Abstract

In recent years, in order to falsify the historical truth, some archival documents concerning the theme of the Armenian Genocide have been published in Turkey. However, in the publications of the kind it is possible to come across such documents, which, against the wishes of publishers throw light on the true goals of the Ottoman authorities – organizers and executors of the Armenian Genocide.

In this respect, the origin of the May 30, 1915 resolution of the Ottoman government on violent expulsion of the Armenians has an important role, which reveals the real purpose of the expulsion of the Western Armenians, i.e. “to fully exterminate and liquidate” the seeming “dangerous movement” of the Armenians and not to resettle in the regions of the Empire far from the Russian front.

The article discusses the prehistory and the objectives of making that decision, its background, it also shows what tricks the representatives of modern official Turkish historiography use in order to screen the passage cited above.
