Professor Justin McCarthy, speaking at a conference in London, said that a source known as the "Blue Book" chosen by Armenians to prove their claims of genocide is one of the products of British war propaganda bureau's efforts of misinformation during first world war.The Blue Book written by Viscount Bryce and Arnold Toynbee has been used as proof that Armenians and the victims of the Jewish Holocaust suffered the same fate in history. This book has been said to be a product of British intelligence designed to promote and promulgate lies during World War I.

Britain had set up the war propaganda bureau at Wellington House for the sole purpose of promoting lies and misinformation on Germany and the Ottoman Empire. The British were in full co-operation with American missionaries in Anatolia and the American Embassy in Istanbul conjured a so called Armenian genocide based on gossip, hear-say and erroneous information.

The real purpose behind this exercise was to create and strengthen an image in the minds of British military officers that the Turk were evil, horrible and untrustworthy McCarthy adds.

The British Blue Book is a well known war propaganda book. Even the British admitted to it. Its pure fiction, war propaganda.

Believing that the great European powers of the time was going to create an Armenian State from the Turkish homeland, ambitious and barbaric Armenians, very rich, well connected, supposedly faithful and trusted Ottoman citizens hit the Ottoman armies in the back and barbarically butchered and raped Ottoman children and women. So the Ottoman Government relocated them out of the war zones where their treachery caused problems to the Turkish army and civilians.

It is very disingenuous of the British to criticize Ottomans when British shot the freedom fighters in India through their cannons. British were Ottoman allies for five centuries until they figured that they were weak enough to dismember ans annihilate so that they could take over Ottoman oil fields which accounted for most of the oil reserves at the time. Need I say more?. . .
