Russian Commander Lieutenant Colonel Tverdohlebov's
Documents Reveal Armenian Terror Activities 1917-1918
"...Armenians’ aversion to the Turks is a renowned fact throughout the ages. Armenians have always been successful in presenting themselves as a nation subjected to heavy torture, and oppression by the uncivilized bigoted Turks.
The Russians who had close relations with the Armenians to a certain extent have developed different views on their level of civilization. Armenians having considerably vile, surprising, and rapacious character can only live off on others. However, the Russian peasants have different judgments on them. I heard the Russian soldiers saying, “Turks have only treated them roughly, but did not kill them. They should have killed them to the last man!”
The Armenian troops among the Russian soldiers have always been regarded as the most inferior. They have always preferred working in the rear echelons rather than fighting at the fronts.

"...Lieutenant Colonel Gryaznof, who went to Ilıca three weeks after the massacres, on his return on February 26 told me about a scene he saw there: “the corpses are lying along the village roads in the open air. All the Armenians going in the front were spitting on the corpses and cursing at them. A mosque yard about 12-15 square sagenes [an area roughly equal to 55-70 square meters] was covered with the corpses of the senior Turkish citizens as well as of men, women, and children that formed a pile reaching 1.5 meters in height. The traces of vile assaults were observed on the women’s corpses. Rifle cartridges were pushed into the genital organs of most of the women...”
