Problem: How were the rights of Armenians restricted by the Ottomans during World War I?
Because they openly sympathized with the Russians, they were ordered to pledge their loyalty to the Ottomans. Because of their religion, they were forced to move to the desserts of Syria where many died or were executed. They were forced to convert from Christianity to Islam before Russia intervened to protect religious freedom. They were not impacted because they migrated to Russia before the Ottomans could implement restrictions.
