“ They have unanimously decided to rebel with all their might at the most appropriate time when the army would be in its weakest state during the war. The measures they have taken in the eastern provinces and around Sivas to threaten the Ottoman Army in the back, the arming of the deserter Armenians, and their use against the state and transforming of many places into store houses for weapons and explosives are the definite proofs of the mentioned decision. ”

“ Consequently, this document proves that all the rebellious activities have been incited and controlled by the Hinjack and Daschnak committees and by the branches that are subordinated to them, who all have been pursuing the aim of freedom; it furthermore proves that the individuals residing in the our state or in foreign countries are pursuing the realization of the same aim, the founding of an independent Armenian State, by destroying the Ottoman Sovereignty and annihilating the Muslim population. ”

“ The Armenian Hinjack Committee is a rebellious committee established in “1878.” As far as its program is considered it is a social democrat committee. Their main aim after the declaration of the constitutional monarchy has become the founding of an autonomous administration under the control of Europe and to declare independence in due time under the pretext that the government has not introduced new changes and that it was trying to Turkefy the other nations. ”
