WWI- US declares war on Ottoman Empire

The US in 1917 only declared war on Germany & A-H, with the Ottomans never being subject to a US declaration of war. How could the Wilson admin however have become involved to the extent of entering the war against the Turks ? Perhaps a stronger Armenian diaspora voice as a political lobby ? What sort of post-war results would've followed- perhaps US mandates in the former Ottoman Empire (esp over Armenia) ?

greater Russophilia in the US.

or Wilson declares war on the Ottomans as a way of dotting the i's and crossing the t's - including each and every Central Powers member nation.
