That definition of genocide is so narrow that it would also exclude the Armenian genocide, since many were allowed to flee.

I can't find any evidence that they were allowed to flee. They organize "mass deportations" that were really just dumping them into the desert without food or water to die. Some did flee, just as some Jews fled Germany and occupied countries during WW2. If you've got a source for that I'd love to see it, neither Google nor ChatGPT seem to agree.
Please first tell me what kind of evidence you would consider sufficient, otherwise you’ll just dismiss whatever I present.
I don’t know why I’d dismiss it, I’m not a shill for the Ottoman Empire and am interested in history. Any documentation from a historical record? Contemporary news articles?
