[edit] Accent??

Is there really supposed to be an accent over the "e"?? In my WHII textbook, there is no accent... 68.106.85.55 23:56, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

To the best of my knowledge, yes. It is a town (or was it a chateau) on the outskirts of Paris.Nightworker 17:23, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

French section of Switzerland, u mean... :)) Baristarim 00:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Assyria

Could anybody tell me where in the Treaty an independent Assyria is mentioned? Can't remember ever reading that, but may be I missed it. Nightworker 23:18, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

There is no mention of an independent Assyria, the Assyro-Chaldeans were only protected minorities within the new boundaries

That's exactly as I remembered. Thanks - who ever you are.Nightworker 23:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kurdistan

This page only mentions that Kurdistan was to be an autonomus part of turkey. When in fact they (the kurds) would be granted independence from turkey if they wished acording to Section III Article 64: "If within one year from the coming into force of the present Treaty the Kurdish peoples within the areas defined in Article 62 shall address themselves to the Council of the League of Nations in such a manner as to show that a majority of the population of these areas desires independence from Turkey, and if the Council then considers that these peoples are capable of such independence and recommends that it should be granted to them, Turkey hereby agrees to execute such a recommendation, and to renounce all rights and title over these areas."

There is no mention of this! There is also no mention of that the kurdish part called the Mosul Vilayet in the traty, could if they wished join the independent Kurdistan.

I believe there are areas within Wiki that suggests the Kurds are allowed to have an Independent Kurdistan, however, the treaty was never signed by the Ottoman Sultan. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 143.81.252.12 (talk • contribs) 22:33, 25 November 2006.

I agree. Why not revise the text? Nightworker 23:03, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Write "Turk" by using the capital letter. Deliogul 19:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Timeline of notable events

I would be ready to add under the footnote a short timeline of notable develoments during the 10-month period between the Armistice of Mudros (30 October 1918; the agreement that ended the war for the Ottoman Empire, and which should be mentioned here) and the Treaty of Sevres. I do not know if there are any examples of such a timeline in other articles on international treaties but it would certainly be useful. I can write it in smaller characters like the footnote, therefore the main body of the article would still jump first to the eye. Cretanforever

[edit] Soviet Participation

The effect of Soviets looks like a key element in the indipendence war when we read this article but this is not true. Yes Soviets gave us military equipment(Max. 1/5 of the nationalist army used their ammo) but that is all. Mustafa Kemal Pasha used every help to defeat the invaders. With respect, Deliogul 19:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not clear

This article contains two maps of what is apparently the same thing, "The proposed Armenian state". However, sorry to say that neither of them is clear. One is virtually monochrome and almost entirely illegible. The other has lots of shaded bits but no legend (at least not in English) and captions only in a foreign language (Armenian perhaps?). Reading the article doesn't help. I'm left with no idea what the scope of the proposed state was. -JdSf 16:35, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Headline

There is a section in the main article which lacks any definition or title. Can it's author edit and present it in a more appropriate manner. It is the section which contains 2 articles from the treaty. Thalion Hurin 10:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Italy

It says "portions of southern Anatolia, were to pass to Italy". Does anyone know where to find more information about this? A map including what the Italians would have gained would be great--Stavros15 12:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Parts of the Turkish Aegean and present day Antalya were promised to Italy with couple of agreements during WWI but then Italy had problems with the Allies and withdrew from her promised territories which paved the way for Greece to show up and claim the Western Anatolia.
