Description
This volume traces the development of British foreign policy towards the Ottoman Empire, its
Armenian population, and other ethnic groups. It explores British diplomatic activities and the
British government’s role at various stages of the Armenian Question. British foreign policy is
analyzed in the context of international and regional dynamics, against the backdrop of Britain’s
political system and public opinion, the internal and foreign policy of the Ottoman government, the
state of affairs in Western Armenia, and the Armenian national movement. The author makes extensive
use of British Foreign Office archival and published materials, and other relevant literature and
documents.
