Answer

The Armenian National Council signed the Treaty of Batum with the Ottoman Empire on May 23, 1918. The treaty ceded control of Western Armenia to the Ottomans, who had been fighting the Armenians in the region since 1915. The treaty was a major blow to Armenian hopes for independence, and it helped to set the stage for the Armenian Genocide that began later that year.
