Although I only know a bit about Turkish history, I do believe there are several mistakes on this page. Those that know more then me need to address the following issues.
Non-muslims were otherwise declared equal and were admitted into government in 1858. In 1878, an ethnic Greek became Minister of Foreign Affairs.
In 1856, conscription of non-muslims was started, but they could opt out by momentary payment. The reaction of the non-Muslims population was mostly negative, those unable to pay the exemption tax took to hills, some joined revolts. Those non-muslims that did go to the army were mostly put in non-combat roles, but could rise to the rank of brigadier.
The remaining Christian population consisted of Christian Arabs, Anatolian Greeks; Christian Aramaic speakers classified as Armenians and Armenians. During WW1, these groups came to be viewed with suspicion. I don't know about Christian Arabs, but the others during the war were transferred to "worker battalions" and later let's say these were done away with.
