Einstein also paid special attention to the massacres of Armenians and wrote about it extensively throughout the diary . He described the events and stated that " the policy of murder then carried out was planned in the coldest blood " in the preface of his diary . Einstein blamed the cooperative pact between Germany and the Ottoman Empire as the supportive and responsible agents behind the massacres He also pointed out that the stockpiles of armaments that was used as a justification for the arrests was in fact a " myth " . By August 4 , Einstein wrote in a diary entry that the " persecution of Armenians is assuming unprecedented proportions , and is carried out with nauseating thoroughness . " He kept in contact with both Enver and Talat and tried to persuade them to reverse their policy towards the Armenians . In a diary entry , he states that Talat insisted that the Armenians sided with the enemies and that Enver believed the policy was out of military necessity , but in reality both leaders feared the Armenians
