From the very first days, the Armenians of Constantinople welcomed the proclamation of the First Republic of Armenia in May 1918, but could not openly express their feelings. After the official recognition of the Armenian Republic by the Paris Peace Conference on January 19, 1920, they showed their enthusiasm much more freely and began to participate in helping their Motherland. The assistance to Armenia was organized by the religious leaders of three churches headed by the Armenian Patriarchate of Turkey. Various cultural events were held.

By the end of 1915, almost all Armenians of Western Armenia, Cilicia and other provinces (vilayets) of the Ottoman Empire had been deported.

Deportation, plunder and extermination of Armenians were carried out by the orders from the central government, with the strenuous efforts of the local provincial authorities as well as groups and organizations that had been formed for that purpose, also the common people being actively involved in these actions.

Bivalent intransitive verbs suggest and require two types of indirect objects. Bivalent intransitive verbs collocate with the latter in three ways. In the first case, objects are collocated with the same verb by means of direct (non-prepositional) government. In the second case, the object expressed by a declensional form is collocated with the same verb by means of direct government, while the other object is collocated by means of indirect (prepositional) government, since it is expressed by a prepositional construction.
