WI: Lawrence's Vision Prevails

WI T.E. Lawrence's map of the Middle East had been accepted? For the record, here it is:

The British are humiliated when none of the borders stand for long, Turkey probably joins the Axis in WWII thereby destroying the British Empire, relations with France are ruined for this treachery...
 
Were there really any Armenians left in Cilicia by WWI? All the other maps I've seen for large post WWI Armenias were in actual Armenia.

Not many, certainly not enough to form a nation from. The only way this would have been feasible is to expel all Turks from the area and snatch every Armenian from Armenia proper and force them to settle in Lawrence's Armenia state.

Seriously Lawrence of Arabia must have been high on gas fumes when he drew up this map.
