Kurds and Armenians, who were among the subjects that made up the Ottoman Empire, were also used in this plan. It appeared that France, which sought ways to influence the region after the war, increased its efforts to include the Kurds in an anti-Turkish movement with the promise of an autonomous Kurdistan, in order to establish an Armenian state in Eastern Anatolia and ensure its security during the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire. Armenians, who could not realize their dreams of a Greater Armenia committed to them during the World War I, made effort to realize these dreams through the Xoybun Organization, a Kurdish-Armenian alliance established under the auspieces of France following the war. Relations between France and Armenians greatly influenced French policy towards the Kurds. With the establishment of Xoybun, a close relationship between Kurds and Armenians emerged. Thus, these two groups, who had faced each other during the World War I and were promised the same lands afterwards, were brought together. This study aims to reveal the anti-Turkish activities of the Xoybun Organization, which was established with the Kurdish-Armenian alliance and the role of France in this period, through French archival documents and relevant secondary sources.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessKurdish-Armenian AllianceXoybun Organizationrevolt in Agr & imathprovinceFranceArticle2041515550N/AWOS:0014125931000042-s2.0-85218985234Q4
