I do not support the ottoman system, but the Armenians could reach high places in the ottoman empire, they even created a monopoly in some areas, for example, a significant part of the translation room in the ottoman palace was Armenian. Of course, these do not erase the discrimination suffered by the Armenians.

Armenians were people who were prone to art and trade, they were a nation that contributed greatly to the Ottoman Empire, but of course, most of the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire lived a village life. But this situation was valid in Russia, but they were not treated as second class citizens in Russia.
