Armenia has become a touchstone of victory in the great war for freedom and humanity.
If Armenia is granted national independence it will mean that in the making of the peace treaty the forces of democracy and human progress have triumphed over the forces of imperialism and short-sighted reaction. It will mean that in the future the rights of the small nations are to be recognized as well as those of the great. It will mean that international justice is to be the foundation of the new world order. The triumph of the principle that is involved will mean that the war has been won because its moral aims have been achieved.
But if the Armenians were to be thrust back under the yoke of Turkey, it would mean that injustice, massacre and atrocity are to be permanent features of the world of the future. It would mean that the justice-loving nations of the world will prepare for inevitable conflicts that are to come. It would mean that the war which was fought to end war has been lost.
National independence for Armenia will mean that the old order of secret intrigue and orthodox diplomacy has given way to a new order of open democratic diplomacy, based on the self-determination of nations and the principles of international justice. It will mean that the peace which ends this war will be a democratic peace, a peace of the peoples, a peace that will last. It will mean that imperialistic aims, secret treaties and selfish greedy interests have given way before the conception of a world organized for righteousness and permanent peace.
National independence for Armenia will mean that the Balance of Power, which has always considered the subject nations of Turkey as mere pawns in a diplomatic game, has been replaced by a League of Free Nations opening the way towards a world federation and the parliament of man.

"We need Armenia , without the Armenians" This was a statement given by the Russian Foreign Minister when asked about the plight of Armenians during the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian people have suffered so much during the war , not only under the Turks and Tartars but under their supposed liberator , the Russians. The Armenians defended their homeland against a onslaught of Turkish and Kurdish attacks and saved Russian Caucasus from Turkish capture. Yet the Russians did not let Armenian refugees return from their homes. The Georgians and Caucasian Tartars were disloyal to the Russians , yet the Russians dwelled more on the Armenians. The Armenians suffered , Armenian women and girls drank poison in order not to get caught by the Turks. When Poison ran out , the remaining women jump of a cliff (Over 3000 women commited suicide that way with poison on one occasion)It is a riveting read , I can feel the authors pride and sorrow for his people as Armenia lay neglected after the war.
