Deportation der armenischen Elite
In the larger framework of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire Armenian community leaders all over the country were arrested.
In a first wave in the night from 24 to 25 April 235 Armenian leaders of Constantinople, clergymen, physicians, editors, lawyers, teachers, party members, etc. were arrested upon an instruction of the Ministery of the Interior. [1] [2] A second wave brought the figure to 500 [3] or 600[4][5][6]. Considering all the centers of the Ottoman Empire far over one thousand notables were deported following 24 April 1915[7].
Those arrested were immediately sent in the direction of Angora (Ankara); upon arriving there, they were divided into two groups. One group was sent to Changere and the other to Ayash. Those sent to Changere were set free, with the condition that they remain under supervision, whereas those sent to Ayash were kept jailed in garrison[8]. About 150 political prisoners were detained in Ayaş, about 150 intellectual prisoners in Çankırı[9]. A first convoy with 56 prisoners left Çankırı on 11 or 18 July with no survivors[10]. A second convoy left Çankırı on 19 August. Their fate is better known as (one [11] or) two of them survived (Aram Andonian being one of them).[10]
