[This is a long document, so consult excel documentation for full summary]
The information in some of the documents about the Ankara and Yozgat Deportations appear with bits of commentary written among them.
Armenians who are located within the provincial district who may be actual or probably committee members, especially teachers, doctors, pharmacists, priests, store owners, lawyers and those whose presence is deemed dangerous and destructive from the perspective of the peace and order of the country, must be sent away to be deported to Zor. During the deportation attention must be given to protect their properties and physical integrity and honor.

The sentence that was meted out to the Kayseri delegate Husrof Efendi was viewed as too light; the decision and ruling must be in accordance with the orders from the Chief Commander's office dated 28 June 1915 [15 Haziran 1915], and numbered 2395.
