Actually yes it does. The Turks used the belief that the Armenians were supporting the Russians, as an excuse to launch their genocide of those people.

The Armenian genocide is as relevant to WW1 as the Jewish Holocaust is to WW2.

Throughout the 20th Century, Turkey has engaged in premeditated destruction of Armenian churches, monasteries, cemeteries, ancient fortresses, and settlements. Because of the Armenian Genocide (1915-1923), it's difficult to find Armenians, in their historical homeland in the Armenian Highlands (Anatolia). Turks and Kurds now live in homes where Armenians once lived. Perhaps 1,500,000 Armenians were murdered, and It wasn't the first time that Armenians died in mass homicide by Turks..

There's been a conspiracy of silence in many World War I Documentaries: Silence of historians who've chosen to forget the Armenian Genocide (1915-1923). The Young Turks were guilty of genocide, the mass-homicide of Armenians. It resulted in the deaths of perhaps 1,500,000 Armenians (including women and children), most of them defenseless and disarmed. Turkey today, continues to perpetrate genocide, with their genocide denial, and widespread destruction of Armenian monuments.

They captured Damascus and Jerusalem after centuries of Ottoman rule, modern day crusaders.

@billybobmacguyver There was also the small matter of disposing a ruthless dictator and defending the last Democratic nation in Western Europe, Great Britain.
