Armenians In Peril.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 29, 1913:
Russian Occupation of Turkish Armenia Is Expected.
    LONDON, Wednesday, Jan. 29.— A correspondent at Tiflis says that Russia has fully mobilized a force of nearly 70,000 men on the Turkish-Armenian frontier.
    An Odessa dispatch to The Daily Mail reports that the Armenians of Bitlis, Van, and Mush are in peril, and are appealing for Russian aid through the Russian consuls.
    It is generally believed, according to the correspondent, that a Russian occupation of the Turkish-Armenian districts is inevitable.
