I watched some parts of documentary since I have less time (sorry). The fact that we slaughter them is just making no sense at all since Ottoman army wouldnt afford such equipment for just killing Armenians. It is known that Armenians were deported because of not letting them to fight against the Ottoman army with Russian support. These people were deported to any parts of Anatolia including Ankara, Adana etc. but most of them were deported to Lebanon and Syria. These deportation may caused most of them to die because of the conditions back that times. It is known that Ottoman army had worse conditions that in Sarikamis thousands of soldiers who were planned to defend the land, just died because of freezing, because of the clothing and stuff. With these conditions that Ottoman army has, its unlikely to believe that army would do such big massacres and stuff to Armenians. My guess is, the Ottoman army may have caused thousdands of Armenians death, but I think people who died in Lebanon and Syria died because of the bad conditions. There is no documented proof about an order that asks Ottoman army to slaughter people, but there is a documented proof about the Armenian deportation. 30-90 thousand soldiers died because of the bad conditions Ottomans had back then.
