U.S. Ambassador Henry Morgenthau Sr. reported firsthand conversations with Talaat Pasha in 1915, in which Talaat openly described the deportation policy as aimed at eliminating the Armenian population; Morgenthau's diplomatic cables and memoir constitute primary evidence of the genocide's intentional character.
