Dear Mr. Kaligian; Thank you for the enlightenment. Now we know how to answer to some parties within the Armenian community who continuously put down the ARF’s involvement with the CUP leadership.
This is my theory only; however the CUP and their party leaders have already thought of and put into the workings about the Armenian Genocide as early as 1912; I have read this recently in an article on the Website from knowledgeable sources. So that the CUP having seemingly regarded the ARF’s refusal to cooperate with them to start an uprising within the Armenian community in the Russian Empire against the Russians as a betrayal by A.R.F. is just an excuse by Talaat Pasha and the CUP leadership; because Talaat Pasha and the CUP leadership have decided as early as 1912 to annihilate the entire Armenian nationality in Turkey.
