The Treaty of Sevres as the legal basis for the Western Armenia’s territorial claims to Turkey

This article contains the analysis on whether there are historical and legal grounds for Western Armenia to become a member of the United Nations relying on the Treaty of Sevres. For this, the author makes the research on historical circumstances in which the Treaty of Sevres – the Peace Treaty, negotiated by the Allied and Associated Powers on the one hand, and the Ottoman Empire – on the other, finally signed by them, never came into force. For the same reason, the article, referring to the Treaty of Sevres, provides arguments in respect of the legal obligations of the parties to the multilateral treaty, which was signed by the “High Contracting Parties”, but did not come into force in accordance with its provisions.
