When ??If they shifted their focus from Austria to the Caucasus?
Which war ?Presumably, knocking Turkey out of the war might also save Russian Empire itself.
The Russian policy was clearly not REALLY concerned with the fate of the Armenians as their #1 priority was the straights.
So what? As long as the Ottoman Empire was knocked out of the war, the genocide stops.
Of course it’s WWI.Which war ?
There was half a year between the initiation of the war and the start of the genocide.If your answer is during World War 1 as it began IOTL ,
then you would only accelerate the downfall of the russian empire with the armenian genocide happing ... "on schedule" (no cynism intended, history itself is such a badass).
Amphibious assault?The dire questions of supplying the army through the Caucasus to the Erzurum and Diyarbakyr.
... as well as the military desaster in the Caucasus in the winter of 1914/1915, which would also take place ITTL.There was half a year between the initiation of the war and the start of the genocide.
