Eserin nihai ehemmiyeti ise o dönem Ermeni terör olaylarını yaşamış olan bir İstanbul Ermenisi’nin Osmanlı toplumsal hayatı içerisindeki yıkıcı hareketlere karşı bir özeleştiri sayılabilecek farklı bakış açısı geliştirmesi ve daha önce üzeri örtülen ve “Ermeni Meselesi”nin çözümüne katkı sağlayacak emareleri gün yüzüne çıkarmasıdır.

Next it’s application to irregular warfare is touched upon and the practices of both sides during the Word War I as the first total war are scrutinized by putting stress on the point it has reached resulting from the ever-changing warfare concept. Additionally, rather than regular combat called as secondary front in military terms, psychological warfare operations, which have been resorted to erode the determination and ability of the target group for fighting and to direct their willpower in the regions where low intensity or covert conflicts have been taken place, are explained with the example of Iran due to both its geographically strategic location and the ethnic, religious and sectarian parameters.
Iranian geography, where British-German-Russian struggle for the influence had been spreading from the beginning of 20th century, had the potential to have an impact on the course of the war and this led to both sides to employ asymmetric methods ranging from propaganda through the written and visual materials to joint covert operations as components of the psychological warfare in line with their aims and interests on Iran remaining de facto neutral until the end of the war. Besides, conflict of political and economic interests among allies and personal ambitions and disputes among civilian or military agents and staff triggered mutual espionage, sabotage, and misleading actions and even low intensity conflicts in later stages.
Accordingly, British and Russian psychological warfare operations toward the Central Powers are explained through examples, psychological operations of Germany and Ottoman Empire toward enemies as well as Iranian people and tribes are examined by classifying them in accordance with their objectives and methods, some determination regarding the outcomes is made and most importantly by comparing Social Darwinist oriented German psychological warfare mechanism and Turkish operations based on the “Ittihad-i Islam” ideal, the state of Central Powers in covert warfare in Iran during the World War I is handled in a didactic way in this study.
