What was the outcome of the attempts to try Ottoman war criminals after the Armenian Genocide
The Allies released those suspected of carrying out the Armenian Genocide to reestablish
friendly relations with the Ottoman Empire.
Military officials were convicted and executed, but politicians were acquitted.
The new Ottoman government cooperated and provided evidence to convict more than
100 military and political officials.
Although more than 100 were arrested, trials were not held because international law had
not yet been defined.
