At the beginning of World War I, many Armenians supported the Allies, particularly Russia, due to their historical grievances against the Ottoman Empire and hopes for autonomy or independence. The Armenian population, which was largely Christian, saw an opportunity to gain support for their cause against the oppressive Ottoman regime. However, this alignment would ultimately lead to tragic consequences, as the Ottoman government viewed Armenians as potential traitors and initiated a campaign of genocide against them during the war.

The Armenians.
Yes, the Armenians were subject to genocide by the Ottoman Turkish government. About 1.2 million Armenians were slaughtered in 1915-1917.
It has been estimated that anywhere from 600,000 to 1.5 million Armenians died during the 1st world war.
Policy of neutrality/ American neutrality
The Turks accused the Armenians of aiding the Russians in World War I to circumvent Ottoman defenses in the East with minimal evidence. Now they accuse the Armenians of trying to defame their name because of the Armenian request that the world recognize the Armenian Genocide.
During the Armenian Genocide (1915-1923), the Armenians primarily sought support from the Allied Powers, particularly Russia, France, and Britain, who were engaged in World War I. However, the Allies were often preoccupied with the war and were unable to provide substantial military assistance. Some Armenian groups also looked to local Christian populations for support, but many faced hostility instead, as the genocide was largely perpetrated by the Ottoman government and its military forces. Ultimately, the Armenians found themselves largely isolated in their struggle for survival.
No role in World War 1 unless you are thinking of the Ottoman slaughter of the Armenians.
