I think that a) Ottoman Empire, under Murad V, would have stayed neutral in WWI, and B) without the focus of Nationalism that occurred under AbdulHamid II, Armenians would have been better off. I wouldn’t put it out of the question that there would have been a reconquista of sorts after a Russian Collapse, that likely would have still happened.
