good question. 
	
		
The Ottoman state orchestrated the massacres. A religious war is easy and low income Moslems can be organized to carry out massacres

				I thuink it's important to remember that the main culprits for the massacres in Constantinople and elsewhere were frenzied mobs of "softas" (Islamic theological students) encouraged by mullahs, so it was massacre by Muslims of Christians for religious reasons. Artashes-type racism downplays the essentially religious aspect of the (pre-1915) massacres .
