And a fact about cleansing Ottoman archives:
In 1931, 30-50 tones Ottoman archive documents (about the number of 1.5 million) were sold to Bulgaria with the price of 3 kuruş 10 para (about 2 cent now!) per kilogram.

Patriarch Mesrob II: I am shocked
23 March 2007
AGOS
Turkey Armenians Patriarch Mesrob II boiled over expression of Prof. Dr. Yusuf Halaçoğlu, head of Turkish History Institue (TTK) "If the documents Ara Sarafian wanted wre not in Ottoman Archives, they are in Patriarchy Archives. Let us search in there. Why are they avoiding to open?".
Patriarch Mesrob II stated: "He knows very well that CUP cabinet, in 10 August 1916, took the decision union of Akhtamar, Istanbul, Kozan and Jerusalem Patriarchies, appointed Jerusalem Patriarch Sahag Khabayan as Ottoman Armenian Catholicos. By this, Istanbul Patriarchy archive was sent to new center, Jerusalem. I wish those archives could be opened"Comment
