This is not really true honey. It definitely wasn't about Ottomans wanting the land. Armenians wanted to establish their own country in Ottoman Empire so they supported Russian attacks on Ottoman forces. They worked as the guerilla army of Russia. That's why Ottoman Empire tried to move them to other regions, get them away from regions bordering Russia so they can't support Russia who was trying to invade Ottoman Empire back then.
