I’ve never heard of German involvement with Armenia; my understanding is that their advisers were primarily concerned with the Dardanelles.

If scholars end up speculating and are disproven on any point, then a whole denial movement will be born from it.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Armenian Genocide

What was the response of the international community to the Armenian Genocide? [following W.W.I]

The international community condemned the Armenian Genocide. In May 1915, Great Britain, France, and Russia advised the Young Turk leaders that they would be held personally responsible for this crime against humanity. There was a strong public outcry in the United States against the mistreatment of the Armenians. At the end of the war, the Allied victors demanded that the Ottoman government prosecute the Young Turks accused of wartime crimes. Relief efforts were also mounted to save "the starving Armenians." The American, British, and German governments sponsored the preparation of reports on the atrocities and numerous accounts were published. On the other hand, despite the moral outrage of the international community, no strong actions were taken against the Ottoman Empire either to sanction its brutal policies or to salvage the Armenian people from the grip of extermination. Moreover, no steps were taken to require the postwar Turkish governments to make restitution to the Armenian people for their immense material and human losses.

Is there a clue in there someplace?
