Summary
The Armistice of Mudros, signed on 30 October 1918, was perceived as an end to a never-ending nightmare by the Ottoman Armenians. The first chapter focuses on the political efforts of the Ottoman Armenian community leadership in a post-war atmosphere following the Armistice of Mudros. Benefiting from a comprehensive analysis of news items, editorials, and reports published in the Armenian and Ottoman Turkish papers, the chapter reflects the peculiarities of the Armenian political position during the first two years of the Armistice period. This chapter provides an analysis of the pro-independence approach of the Ottoman Armenians.
