This article analyses the Turkish–Armenian War in the Caucasus and its implications for the Ottoman Armenian community. After the signing of the Armistice of Mudros, the Ottoman Armenians established alliances with their Armenian compatriots in the Caucasus as well as the Greeks. When the Turkish–Armenian War erupted in 1920, the Ottoman Armenian community organized fundraising campaigns for the Armenian state. Benefiting from primary sources, including Armenian and Ottoman-Turkish newspapers of the period, this article focuses on the position of Ottoman Armenians during the Turkish–Armenian War, and in doing so contributes to the historiography on the Turkish–Armenian War.

Lebanon, for many Armenians, is referred to as "our second homeland" (yergort hayrenik), and it is scarcely difficult to see why. As nowhere else in the regional diaspora, Lebanon has offered its Armenian citizens—initially refugees—the economic freedom to achieve prosperity, the political freedom to pursue their interests, and the communal autonomy to preserve their identity. These freedoms and the efflorescence that they have enabled—to say nothing of Lebanon's singularity as the scene of unique Armenian ecclesiastical and cultural institutions—have made Lebanon a distinctive part of the Armenian diaspora. This study aims to demonstrate why this was—and continues to be—the case.
