(Testimonies of those who escaped the massacre perpetrated by the Armenians and Russians in Van)
Christian Ottoman subjects had by a common consent agreed to act together and everywhere introduced their spies. When the general mobilization was declared, they tried to massacre muslim population and in the localities they occupied to put to the sword the greater part of the muslim population. What they aimed at by killing religious muslim leaders, was to provoke the muslim population and start a rebellion throughout the country, whenever they committed atrocities they always had cursed Islam and shouted "Long live Armenia" and "down with the Ottomans" and then ripping the abdomen of pregnant women, eviscerated youngs in the wombs and hurled them up and shot at as a targets. "Even animals can feel ashamed of what has been done"; they stripped our women and girls’ clothes before us" and after raping them they ripped their abdomen" many of the raped girls were less than ten years old. In matter of raping, killing children and cutting them up, Armenians were more ferocious than Russians, but when it comes to slitting the eyes, cutting the noses and thrusting thin bayonets into the women breast the Russians were the first to start such savageries thus emboldening the Armenians to commit atrocities. They even burnt and cut to pieces small children and after taking aside young girls they burnt the remainder. Although Muslims being disarmed could not fight and were forced to surrender every place was put to fire, children and women were trodden under the horsemen heels. Goverment agents and gendarmes in mission for levying war taxes were also savagely slain. Only those who sought refuge and hid themselves into thickets and bushes were enough fortunate to have their lives safe.
