Abstract
The British statesman and diplomat Mark Sykes travelled extensively in the Middle East and researched the region. During World War I he gained substantial influence in the British Foreign Affairs Ministry concerning British Middle East policy. During WWI he and the French diplomat Georges Picot worked on the secret agreement of dividing the Ottoman Empire between Britain, France and Russia.
Mark Sykes knew the Armenians and the Armenian Question well and condemned the Armenian Genocide. He was instrumental in the negotiations that led to the establishment of the Armenian Legion in the French Army. His expert advice to Boghos Nubar became part of the requests Nubar made in negotiations regarding the formation of the Armenian Legion. During WWI Sykes appreciated the fighting abilities of the Armenian soldiers on the Caucasian front and the courage of the Armenian Legionaries. The author notes that notwithstanding his initial rejection of Armenian independent statehood, eventually Sykes felt that right of the Armenians to independent statehood should be realized.
