    ST. PETERSBURG: The districts of Zangezur and Jebrail are swarming
    with Tartar bands under the leadership of chiefs, and in some cases
    accompanied by Tartar police officials. Green banners are carried and
    a "Holy War" is being proclaimed. All Armenians, without distinction
    of sex or age, are being massacred. Many thousand Tartar horsemen
    have crossed the Perso-Russian frontier and joined the insurgents.

    were thrown to the dogs and the few survivors were forced to embrace
    Islamism.
