[b]Conference of Marseille[/b]

[i]"And it is with great pride that I announce today the creation of a coalition of the willing as to insure a rapid and peaceful transition in the Ottoman Empire, henceforth known as Turkey, to a stable democracy. This coalition, formed of Italy, Greece, France, Britain and Armenia, will also aim to insure that the terms of the Asia Minor Agreement, the French–Armenian Agreement as well as the Treaty of Sèvres. It is in the spirit of self determination of the people that we today sign this entente and like we freed the people under the reign of Austria and Germany from the oppression of a totalitarian regime, we will today begin to free the people of Asia from that of the Ottoman. Today it is not a matter of life or death but a matter of honor and justice and as a Great Power, I speak for France when I state that we cannot let our ideas of peace and freedom down. That we cannot have the promises made to our allies be hollow. And thus for Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, our people once more will fight together.[/i]
