The report of Mehmet Münir Bey, the legal advisor, on the activities of Armenians and the reasons for the deportations. Page 1 (Report prepared regarding that the Armenians have turned the country into a bomb arsenal, that they collaborated with the enemy and engaged in massacres and atrocities and therefore made enemies of the local population, and for this reason it was decided that the Armenians of certain regions be relocated to other areas, that the majority of the Armenians were relocated, that in some areas the departation decision could not be implemented well, that those who had acted against the orders were given to Court Martial, that the Armenians, taking advantage of this opportunity, are trying to cover up their own murders and to portray themselves as innocent, and that they have been successful in this propaganda effort, that the Armenians, contrary to their propaganda, are no revolutionary socialists, but in fact follow an imperialistic policy.) 1920 BOA.
