Quotes by Dawn Anahid MacKeen (?)

“The interior minister explained to the American ambassador that August why he was taking such drastic measures with the Armenians: “In the first place, they have enriched themselves at the expense of the Turks. In the second place, they are determined to domineer over us and establish a separate state,” Talaat Pasha said. “In the third place, they have openly encouraged our enemies.”
