Operations
The GRC worked through a network of foreign consuls, missionaries and relief workers located at various points in the Ottoman empire. In doing so, its working methods were similar to those of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief (ACASR), which was also in action during World War I. It also cooperated with American diplomatic institutions in Athens and Thessaloniki to aid refugees arriving from Turkey.
