Erdogan Takes Revenge for the Treaty of Sèvres, Says Le Monde

The French publication Le Monde has published a remarkable article titled "A Century Later, Erdogan Takes Revenge for the Treaty of Sèvres," which has gained attention in the Turkish media. This was reported by Ermenihaber.

The article discusses the memorandum signed between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the head of Libya's Government of National Accord, Fayez al-Sarraj. The French publication describes this memorandum as historic, noting that it could alter the strategic dynamics in the Mediterranean and North Africa.

Le Monde highlights that the signed memorandum was finalized at Istanbul's Dolmabahçe Palace (a sultanic residence established by the Armenian Pahlavan family) in November 2019. Prior to this, Erdogan and al-Sarraj held four meetings regarding the memorandum.

According to the publication, considering that Erdogan declared after the memorandum's signing, "Thanks to this strategic and energy deal, we have been able to thwart the Treaty of Sèvres," it can be concluded that Erdogan has avenged the Treaty of Sèvres, which is a syndrome for the Turks. The treaty was signed in August 1920 but remained on paper.

It is worth noting that the Treaty of Sèvres was signed on August 10, 1920, near Paris, between the Ottoman government's representatives and the victorious Allied states of World War I (Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Greece, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Armenia, Czechoslovakia, and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, as well as Hejaz). The Armenian Republic was represented by Avetis Aharonian.
