The Armenian Reform Plan was signed into law on February 8, 1914, an often overlooked moment that marked both the decline of European diplomacy in World War I, and the onset of events that would culminate in a horrific tragedy for the Armenian people.

Russia and the Ottoman Empire were signatories to the agreement, which granted independent administrative rights to the Armenians in the six Turkish provinces where the population was the majority, and two generals inspectors were placed under the new agreement law, and the inspectors were appointed under an agreement between Britain, France, Russia and Italy, and they had authority Jurisdiction over the Armenian provinces.

At the regional level, the agreement was the result of a long campaign by the Armenians to gain recognition and equality in the Ottoman Empire. They had endured centuries of political persecution, with the empire entering stages of decline at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the situation worsened a lot, as growing Turkish nationalism and resentment focused oppression on all elements of society.

The Armenian National Delegation (AND) was formed for autonomy after the failure of the new Turkish constitutional government to implement national reforms, which came in the wake of the coup of the Young Turks, AND began to pressure other European countries to push for changes in the Ottoman Empire, where the turmoil was In Turkey after the defeat in the First Balkan War (1912-1913 AD), it served as the ideal moment for the governments of Russia, Britain and France to pressure the Ottoman Empire to instigate change

Far from simply being concerned with the Armenian situation, the interference of other European powers in the Armenian question was in fact a symptom of the complex international tensions that divided Europe in the run-up to World War I, and Armenian grievances became an instrument of the empires' geostrategic goals. For Russia, the significant benefits of Armenian independence were evident. .

The lands in question were close to the Turkish-Russian border. Since the beginning of the century, Russia has sought to undermine the faltering Ottoman Empire, its main rival to impose its influence in the region. Armenian independence also enhances Russia's chances of gaining access to the Mediterranean. Britain and France have tacitly supported Russia in its intervention. On the Armenian question.

Germany had established close relations with the Ottoman Empire, which the members of the Triple Union saw as an attempt by the Kaiser to assert greater influence in that valuable region, and by highlighting the polarized state of Europe, Germany rejected the initial terms of the Armenian reform plan, and the original objective of the agreement was to join the provinces The six were inhabited by Armenians, or making the provinces a single province, and the German opposition held that the agreement was modified to create two separate provinces instead.

The Armenian Campaign to End Political Repression, which resulted in the Armenian Reform Plan, was used by European colonial powers to achieve their geopolitical goals, but the tragic result was that the Ottoman Empire nurtured the feeling that the Armenians were in tune with Turkey's rivals, increasing their discontent with horrific consequences.

The outbreak of World War I in 1914 AD meant that the terms of the agreement were not applied with Russia, Britain, France and Germany, leaving the Armenians without protection. In April 1915, 200 Armenian intellectuals were arrested, accused of supporting Russia, and that was the first step in what is now widely referred to as broadly known as the Armenian Genocide.
