EYEWITNESS TO THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
February 5, 2015
"I argued in all sorts of ways with him but he said that there was
no use, that they had already disposed of three quarters of them,
that there were none left in Bitlis, Van, Erzeroum, and that the
hatred was so intense now that they have to finish it. I spoke to
him about the commercial losses and he said they did not care, that
they had figured it out and knew it would not exceed for the banks
etc. five million pounds. He said they want to treat the Armenians
like we treat the negroes. I think he meant like the Indians. I asked
him to make exceptions in some few cases which he promised to do."
Henry Morgenthau's report of his conversation with Talaat Pasha.dated
8 August 1915. United States Diplomacy on the Bosphorus: The Diaries
