From the Administrator in Erzurum (Scheubner-Richter) to the Embassy Constantinople

Telegraphic Report

No. 6

Erzurum, 2 July 1915

Subsequent to Telegr. No. 1 and No. 5.

As the only representative of Christian power, the Armenian population sees its natural protector in me. Situation difficult and embarrassing.

I request that Your Excellency support me if possible by taking steps accordingly with the Sublime Porte.

[Scheubner]

[Answer from the Embassy, 3 June]

I confirm my telegram of 30 and 31 May and must regretfully refrain for the moment from interceding once again with the Porte on the Armenians' behalf. Also request that Your […etc] take no further steps in this matter with the military authorities there.
