The Franco-Turkish War or Cilicia War (French: La campagne de Cilicie, Turkish: Güney Cephesi - the southern front) was a series of conflicts fought between France (the French Colonial Forces and the French Armenian Legion) and Turkish National Forces directed by Turkish Grand National Assembly from May 1920-October 1921 in the aftermath of World War I. French interest in the region resulted from the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the subsequent French-Armenian Agreement (1916) that led to the establishment of Armenian forces under the French Army.
