THE PROBLEM OF RESTORATION OF THE ARMENIAN INDEPENDENT STATEHOOD IN 1917-1918 AND THE GERMAN-ARMENIAN SOCIETY

Abstract

The article focuses on the pro-Armenian activities of the German-Armenian Society
during Brest-Litovsk, Trabzon and Batumi peace talks in 1917-1918, mainly based on German
sources. Particularly, the article touches upon the calls made by the German-Armenian Society
to support the creation of Armenian autonomy in Western Armenia, the organization of the
return of exiled Armenians and the question of Germany’s consensus on the extermination of
Armenians.
