Abstract
Scholarship on the destruction of the Armenian community of the Ottoman Empire has tended to focus on the genocides broad historical, political, and sociological aspects. The gradual opening of the Prime Ministerial Ottoman Archive in Istanbul has made it possible to shed light on micro-aspects of the planning and implementation of the Armenian Genocide. On the basis of documents and eyewitness accounts related to the murder of Dr. Rupen Sevag Chilingirian, the author provides important insight into the central authorities involvement in the murder of Armenian intellectuals. © 2011 Oxford University Press, All rights reserved.
