Summary/Abstract: The Armenian problem, today, is defined by some of the Western states, such as the USA and France, and by some institutions, such as the European Parliament, within the allegation that the application of "kanun-i muvakkat (interim law)" of Meclis-i Vükela (Assembly) dated 27 May 1915 to the Armenian Committees, which set armed uprisings against the Ottoman Empire as of 1890s. While these definitions ignore the fact that the Armenian problem is a part of the problems in the east of the Ottoman Empire, the historic developments within this scope and the legal factors are denied. In this context, this study aims to analyse the related articles of the international agreements to which the Ottoman Empire was a part between 1918 – 1922 and then to advocate that the subject should be evaluated within the scope of the problems in the east of the Ottoman Empire for its legal factors.
