| Abstract | ||
| The Armenian case represents one of the most remarkable debate between Turkey and Western states. Some states considered what happened to the Armenians as a genocide. Consequently, Turkey should apologize for the Armenians and compensate them legally, but some others justified those operations, taken against the Armenians, considering them as self-defiance against disobedients .So , the situation of tension between the two parties continued. Taking into account all the above, this study tries to identify the main causes of this case since it hypothesizes that such a case is a crisis resulted from the Armenians' attempt to regain their rights but the Ottoman government considered that attempt, being urged by the Europeans, as measure that threatens stability. As a result of the strategic location of the Ottoman state and the unique importance of the Armenian territories, the European states paid too much attention to the said case. In conclusion, Britain strongly supported the Armenians especially during the period in question. On the one hand, this period represented the early indications of the European concern of this crisis where this particular period was the very a critical one in the whole history of the Ottoman state. On the other hand, the Armenians thought that Britain had good intentions towards them, but they lately discovered that Britain tried only to get some political interests. When Britain knew that the European states would never allow it to carry out its projects easily, it decided to change its polices and turn attention to Egypt. | ||
