    with Treaty of Sevres

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Le Figaro has published a map where Armenia's
    borders are marked in compliance with Treaty of Sevres. The map of
    energy corridors going through Turkey was drawn by CIA and U.S.
    Department of Energy, freelance French journalist Jean Eckian told
    PanARMENIAN.Net.

    The Treaty of Sevres (10 August 1920) was the peace treaty between the
    Ottoman Empire and Allies at the end of World War I.

    According to it, Armenia was given a large part of the region
    according to the border fixed by President of the United States of
    America which was referred as "Wilsonian Armenia" including provinces
    which didn't have significant Armenian populations remaining after the
    war, such as the Black Sea port city of Trabzon.

    The Treaty of Sevres was annulled in the course of the Turkish War of
    Independence and the parties signed and ratified the superseding
    Treaty of Lausanne in 1923.
