The Red Sunday - (Armenian: Կարմիր Կիրակի) is the night which the leaders of Armenian community of the Ottoman capital, Constantinopole, and later extending to other centers were arrested and moved to two holding centers near Ankara by than the minister of interior Mehmed Talat Bey with his order on April 24, 1915 and later deported with the passage of Tehcir Law on 29 May 1915. In the larger framework of the Armenian Genocide the date 24 April, Genocide Remembrance Day, commemorates the Armenian notables deported from the Ottoman capital in 1915, which was a precursor to the ensuing events.

In a first wave in the night from 24 to 25 April 1915 235[1][2] to 270[3] Armenian leaders of Constantinople, clergymen, physicians, editors, journalists, lawyers, teachers, politicians, etc. were arrested upon an instruction of the Ministry of the Interior.[4] A second wave brought the figure to 500[5]–600.[2][6][7]
There were further deportations from the capital. In the end of August 1915 about 150 Armenians with Russian nationality were deported from Constantinople to Ankara and Mudshur.[8]
The action of 24 April 1915 was operated by Chief of Police of Constantinople Bedri Bey.[9] Few of the detained were released the same weekend as writer Alexander Panossian (1859-1919) before even being transferred to Anatolia.[10] Most of the arrested were sent after identification of the particulars from Central Prison over Sarai Burnu by steamer No. 67 of the Şirket company to the railway station of Haydarpaşa. After waiting for ten hours they were sent by special train in the direction of Ankara the next day. The train was under way with 220 Armenians.[11] An Armenian train conductor got a list of names of the deportees. It was handed over to the Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople, Zaven Der Yeghiayan, who right away tried in vain to save as many deportees as possible. The only foreign ambassador to help him in his efforts was US ambassador Morgenthau.[12] After a train journey of 20 hours the deportees got off in Sincanköy (near Ankara) Tuesday noon. At the station Ibrahim, the director of the Central Prison of Constantinople, did the triage. The deportees were divided into two groups.
One group was sent to Çankırı (and Çorum between Çankırı and Amasia) and the other to Ayaş. Those separated for Ayaş were transported in carts for a couple of hours further to Ayaş. Almost all of them were killed several months later in gorges near Ankara.[13] Only ten (or thirteen[9]) deportees of this group were granted permission to turn back to the capital from Ayaş.[14]
A group of 20 latecomers arrested on 24 April arrived in Çankırı around 7 or 8 May 1915.[15] About 150 political prisoners were detained in Ayaş, about 150 intellectual prisoners in Çankırı.[16]
Those sent to Çankırı continued their journey first by train until Ankara and then in carts till Çankırı.[13] After a week in the military barracks they were allowed to stay in town at their own expenses[15], with the condition that they remain under supervision, whereas those sent to Ayaş were kept jailed in garrison.[5]
A first convoy with 56 prisoners left Çankırı on 11 or 18 July with no survivors.[17]
A second convoy (with 30 deportees[9]) left Çankırı on 19 August. Their fate is better known as (one[9] or) two of them survived (Aram Andonian being one of them).[17]
Totally twelve deportees were granted permission to come back to the capital from Çankırı.[18] The deportees who came free did this through the intercession of influential persons who they found through their own means.[19] Five deportees from Çankırı were freed upon intervention of ambassador Henry Morgenthau.[9]
The remaining deportees were under the protection of governor Mazhar Bey who defied the secret instructions of Talat Pasha, minister of the interior. Mazhar was replaced end of July 1915 by central committee member Atif Bey who started the elimination of the Armenian population of the province of Ankara in August 1915.[9]
Four deportees were granted permission to come back from Konya.[20]
After the Armistice of Mudros several surviving Armenian intellectuals came back to Constantinople, which was under allied occupation. They started a short but intense literary activity that was ended by the kemalist victory (1922-1923).
Below is a list of Armenians deported from the Ottoman capital (Constantinople) during the First World War, as made available by the Ottoman archives and Armenian sources. The names are in English and Armenian. The 'armistice' mentioned in the list refers to the Armistice of Mudros 30 October 1918.
