• The "Armenian" Wealth Theft

  This theory held that the 1915 destruction of the Ottoman Armenians was not only mass deportation and murder, but also a coordinated seizure of Armenian wealth, property, businesses, land, and financial assets. Unlike many rumor structures, this one rests heavily on documented policy. The theory’s more expansive form treats the atrocities as a gigantic state-organized bank robbery disguised as deportation and wartime emergency. In historical terms, confiscation, expropriation, and redistribution of Armenian property were indeed major features of the process.
