Summary

The third chapter elaborates on the continuous support of the Ottoman Armenians for the establishment of a United Armenian state. The chapter analyses the meaning of the Turkish-Armenian War in the Caucasus and the French occupation in Cilicia and the aid campaign of the Ottoman Armenians in support of the Armenian military in the Caucasus and the French occupational forces in Cilicia. In doing so, this chapter demonstrate the pro-Entente and pro-Armenian independence political position of the Ottoman Armenians. The chapter further elaborates on the main argument of the book that before the defeat of Armenian forces in the Caucasus and the French forces in Cilicia, the majority of the Ottoman Armenian community demonstrated a pro-Entente approach and supported the establishment of an independent Armenian state.
