Mehmed Talat Paşha, Circular on April 24 1915 (1915)
“ With the discovery of the bombs, and the Ottoman Armenians’ joining with the Russian forces by forming voluntary regiments against the Ottoman State, it has become evident that these committees, whose administrative centers are in Europe, bearing the adjective of “revolutionary” in their titles have gathered around Kayseri, Sivas and in other provinces in order to incite upheavals in the regions behind and to threat the Ottoman Army at every opportunity through their attempts, organizations, and publications. ”
