Sidney Whitman, a British journalist with long experience of the Ottoman Empire, recalls the Armenian outbreak in Constantinople in August 1896, the start of the Graeco-Turkish War, a long journey through Asiatic Turkey and audiences at Yildiz. He wrote as an open partisan of the Sultan’s government, and his account of the Armenians should be read with that in mind.
