I don't think as the OP does that it was the Imams, but usually it's the
radical fascist (atheistic) "Young Turks" who are credited with having
planned and executed the Armenian Genocide. The first Turkish government
after those events executed a few of those.

I've checked this Azeri site calling itself "Genocide history" and I see
no
proof of any genocide there. There is one number mentioned of 7000 Azeris
killed in about 1918. If the number is correct at all (no killings of
Armenians by Azeris are mentioned by the way), it is still rather low
among
all the killings that went on in those regions at the time.
Looks rather, this is the same sort of "genocide" that the Turks accuse
the
Armenians of having committed towards the Turks.
