Reddit mentions of The Armenian Rebellion at Van (Utah Series in Turkish and Islamic Stud)

Justin McCarthy wrote a book about the occupation of Van. Armenians occupied Van for a large part of the First World War. Up to 2/3 of the Muslim population there was murdered or driven out. There were twice as many Muslims as Armenians in Van, so they had to murder over half of the Muslim population to be able to rule Van. Gives you an idea what would have happened if the ‘Wilsonian Armenia’ plan had succeeded. Armenians compromised not even 16% of the population in those areas.

If you're interested in this subject, Google for Maxime Gauin. He's written some nice articles on this subject, which are available for free on Academia. Guenter Lewy's book is also a nice one (a Jewish holocaust survivor writing on this subject).

Edit: Another American source on the Armenian issue.

>“I see that reports are being freely circulated in the United States that the Turks massacred thousands of Armenians in the Caucasus. Such reports are repeated so many times it makes my blood boil. The Near East Relief have the reports from Yarrow and our own American people which show absolutely that such Armenian reports are absolutely false. The circulation of such false reports in the United States, without refutation is an outrage and is certainly doing the Armenians more harm than good. I feel that we should discourage the Armenians in this kind of work, not only because it is wrong, but because they are injuring themselves. In addition to the reports from our own American Relief workers that were in Kars and Alexandrople, and reports from men such as Yarrow, I have reports from my own Intelligence Officer and know that the Armenian reports are not true. Is there not something that you and the Near East Relief Committee can do to stop the circulation of such false reports? I was surprised to see that Dr. McCallum sent through a report along this line from Constantinople. When I called attention to the report, it was stated that it came from the Armenians but the telegram did not state this, nor did it state that the Armenian reports were not confirmed by our own reports.”
