Özet:This dissertation is the first to study the French policy toward the Armenian issue globally and by a detailed work in the available archives, as well as in the various printed sources. It focuses on the 1918-1923 period, namely when the Armenian independence fails then when the dream of an Armenian autonomy in Anatolia collapses but also provides the necessary background, the 1862-1914 period and the First World War. Non-existence at the eve of this conflict, the alliance of Paris with the Armenian committees develop slowly and remains uneasy during the war. Tense during the year following the armistice, primarily because of the opposition of Paris to the “Integral Armenia” from Black Sea to Mediterranean Sea, the alliance is severed during the decisive period beginning in autumn 1919 and ending in January 1921. The attempts of the committees to prevent the evacuation of Çukurova fail one by one and their only achievement is to provoke the mass emigration of the Christian population. Then, the last projects of an “Armenian Home” (considered impracticable and actually not interesting by the French government) fail during the Paris (March 1922) and Lausanne conferences (November 1922-July 1923), the rapprochement of the Armenian committees with Greece having secured nothing.
