At the end of WWI, you had the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, which had become a Turkish colonial exercise. Massive power vacuums left behind. That was never going to play out peacefully with or without the West. Even before the West became involved, Turkey was committing some of the worst attrocities in history. Genocides of Greeks, Kurds, Armenians, etc...

Sorry, what I said ‘isn’t true’ ?! The west hasn’t meddled? Or did you mean it’s not the sole reason?
People so desperate to disagree with others here that they can’t admit the most obvious things that someone else posts.
