Speaker. on the eve of April 24. 1915. a shocking and evil event befell the Armenians in Turkey. More than 1.000 Armenians. good and honorable persons from all walks of life. were arrested and imprisoned by the Turkish Government. From the moment of their arrest they were held incommunicado. A few days later they were deported under heavy guard and then they were brutally executed. The arrest and execution of these Armenians proved to be the beginning of the end of Armenian communities in Turkey. The extermination of the Armenians and their communities was carried out so effectively. so ruthlessly. that by the end of that year all Armenians had been uprooted from their homes.
