Andranik Ozanian sat in front of you the man was a representative from the Armenian Fedayi who according to your agents where freedom fighters, the man came to you for a request help in freeing Armenia.
This matter could be beneficial, with an Armenian state as a barrier between the Ottomans and Russia troops could be stationed in places that needed them more as was the case with the east where the Japanese where rapidly catching up with the rest of the world in terms of industry and modernization.
The cons of supporting the Armenians was obviously war and how would the rest of the world reacted to it, would the British stay away from these or would they try to interfere.
You have three options in how to handle the situation you could promise them the support they need and declare war against the ottomans, send them volunteers to fight in the war without outright declaring war against them or you could help them covertly with the help of the Okhrana and the ISB the choice was yours

This worries me a bit, as Britain was very heavily focused on the Mediterranean at this point and I don't want to them until our Military isn't shit. With that said, we're opposing the Ottomans, and limiting their power in the region. I don't think we're going against British interests with this move.
Additionally, it provides a good opportunity to test our stuff - and provide an excuse to the international community as to why we're beefing up our military.

war gets fought.
we learn a lot from said war.
less political blow back.
also if the ottomans want to make something of it then we could go to full war.
having said all that rather not go to full on war footing as or yet. would slow everything down a lot.

Prevent the genocide!
Besides, this will only affect the Med. by weakening Ottoman influence, allowing other powers to fill in the gap. Some nations, like Britian, might not be too happy with us since they're trying to keep the balance in Europe favorable, but things should be alright as long as we make sure to defend the black sea (not too difficult as long as we modernize our own navy) and keep the other European nations in mind (Germany on land, Britian at sea).
