If anyone is in any doubt. I ask them to consult the Ottoman regime Itself. which admitted in documentation available to us the responsibility of Ottoman officials for planning and implementing that genocide. In 1919. before the founding of the Republic of Turkey. the Ottoman Government that was in fact the successor to the regime. which was in power during the years of the Second World War which was generally identified as the Committee of Union and Progressthat successor Ottoman Empire actually placed the CUP Prime Minister. the War Minister. and the Marine Minister on trial and found each of them guilty of directing the deportation and massacre of the Armenian people. The indictment of those officials reads in part as follows: The truth is that Tallat (Prime Minister). Enver (War Minister). and Jemal (Marine Minister). ordered the massacres fully. * * They led criminal bands who murdered people. pillaged properties. money and valuables. burned homes. incinerated the dead. violated the honor of women and perpetrated all kinds of crimes and abominations.
