Detention

Minister of the Interior Mehmed Talaat Bey gave the order on April 24, 1915. The operation commenced at 8 p.m. At Constantinople, the action was operated by Chief of Police of Constantinople Bedri Bey.

On the night of 24–25 April 1915, in a first wave 235 to 270 Armenian leaders of Constantinople

Istanbul , historically known as Byzantium and Constantinople , is the largest city of Turkey. Istanbul metropolitan province had 13.26 million people living in it as of December, 2010, which is 18% of Turkey's population and the 3rd largest metropolitan area in Europe after London and...

, clergymen, physicians, editors, journalists, lawyers, teachers, politicians, etc. were arrested upon an instruction of the Ministry of the Interior. The differences in number may be explained by the uncertainties of the police as they imprisoned people with the same names. The Ottoman policemen proved repeatedly to be unfamiliar with Armenian names e.g. Komitaci instead of Komitas.

There were further deportations from the capital. The first task was to identify those imprisoned. They were held for one day in a police station (Ottoman Turkish: Emniyeti Umumiye) and the Central Prison. A second wave brought the figure to 500–600.

In the end of August 1915 about 150 Armenians with Russian nationality were deported from Constantinople to holding centers. Few of the detained were released the same weekend as writer Alexander Panossian (1859–1919) before even being transferred to Anatolia.

Holding centers

Most of the arrested were sent after identification of the particulars from Central Prison over Sarai Burnu by steamer No. 67 of the Şirket company to the railway station of Haydarpaşa. After waiting for ten hours, they were sent by special train in the direction of Ankara

The only foreign ambassador to help him in his efforts was US ambassador Henry Morgenthau

. Those separated for Ayaş were transported in carts for a couple of hours further to Ayaş. Almost all of them were killed several months later in gorges near Ankara. Only ten (or thirteen) deportees of this group were granted permission to turn back to the capital from Ayaş.

A group of 20 latecomers arrested on 24 April arrived in Çankırı around 7 or 8 May 1915. About 150 political prisoners were detained in Ayaş, about 150 intellectual prisoners in Çankırı.

They were, seemingly, murdered by the band of brigands led by Cherkes Ahmet, and lieutenants Halil and Nazım, at a locality called Karacaören shortly before arriving to Diyarbakır. The murderers were tried and executed in Damascus by Djemal Pasha in September 1915. The assassinations became the subject of a 1916 investigation by the Ottoman Parliament led by Artin Boshgezenian, the deputy for Aleppo.

Marzbed dispatched to Kayseri to appear before a court martial on 18 May 1915. After his release from the court, he worked under fake Ottoman identity for the Germans in Intilli (Amanus railway tunnel). He escaped to Nusaybin, where he fell from a horse and died right before the armistice.

Release

Any prisoners released came through the intercession of influential persons who they found through their own means. Five deportees from Çankırı were freed upon intervention of ambassador Henry Morgenthau
