This document was written by Garegin Pastirmadjian (aka Armen Garo), who was the leader in the Dashnak Revolutionary Forces during WWI. This document argues the Allies should form an Armenian State because Armenians actively and very successfully fought AGAINST THE OE on behalf of the Allies.

This primary source contains the words of an active participant in the events and supports the notion that Armenians actively sided as a nation with the Allies, Armenians made it clear to the OE they would fight on behalf of Russia and Armenians were a fifth column during WWI.

What Pastirmadjian wrote about HIS OWN ACTIONS is generally viewed as an ADMISSION.
