Abstract
The article examines the anti-Armenian policy of the Young Turks’ government in the province of Trapizon after the 1908 revolution. A series of anti-Armenian activities and anti-Armenian propaganda were carried out by the government and local Muslim fanatics, that had a negative impact on both the social and economic life of Trapizon Armenians. Based on the primary sources, the paper discusses some elements of persecutions against the Armenian population of Trapizon, those related to planning, organization, implementation, and the involvement of the state. The Armenian Genocide was the logical continuation of that policy, which entered the activation phase when Behaeddin Shakir, a member of the Central Committee of the Young Turks’ party, the president of the Special Organization, arrived in Trapizon.
