Pro Armenia (1900–1914)[1] was a French-language fortnightly that took pro-Armenian positions.[2] The goal of the journal was to raise awareness in Europe about the plight of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire.[2] It was founded at the initiative of Christapor Mikaelian, a co-founder of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, enlisting the help of a number of prominent Dreyfusard and leftist intellectuals.[2][3] Pierre Quillard was its editor-in-chief and Jean Longuet was its secretary.[3] The members of its editorial committee were Georges Clemenceau, Anatole France, Jean Jaurès, Francis de Pressensé, and Edmond de Roberty.[3] It temporarily ceased publication after the 1908 Ottoman constitutional revolution.[2] It was published again in 1912 and 1913 under the title Pour les Peuples d’Orient.[2] In 1914, the last year that the journal was published, it resumed its original name.[2]
