Turkish Atrocities.
Ezekoum, November 20. During the atrocities committed in Armenia by the Turks, fearful scenes we witnessed. The Turkish soldiers imprisoned t>o girls in a church, and after outraging their hapless victims, butchered them. Their blood poured out in a stream under the doors of the building. Victims in other places were beheaded. Some of them were burned alive in their own houses. The corpses slaughtered by the Turks in Armenia lie unburied, and cholera is following in the wake of the massacre. Those who managed to escape crossed into Russian territory by secret paths.
