De l'affaire Dreyfus au mouvement arménophile : Pierre Quillard et Pro Armenia

Résumé 0

A French intellectual close to the Symbolist circles and a committed defender of Dreyfus (he was the author, in 1898, of the compilation of anti-semitic and anti-republican lampoons called Monument Henry), Pierre Quillard (1864-1912) was an Armenophile in the field at the end of the nineteenth century. Back in France, he gave himself heart and soul to the defense of the Armenian cause and founded Pro Armenia, a first series of which is published from 1900 to 1908. With Charles Péguy and some others beside him, he was the soul of the Armenophile Congress held in Brussels in 1902. Pierre Quillard's fight is a model of intellectual commitment that was later reproduced in the twentieth century. He refuted the idea of an ignorance of the horrors perpetrated by the Turks as well as the cliché of a complete apathy in front of crime.
