WI: Turkish SSR?

[Pesigalam]

Inspired by a discussion on a different forum:

Let's say that the Ottoman Empire is knocked out of WW1 much earlier, resulting in Sykes–Picot Agreement being implemented. But the Bolshevik Revolution still occurs and the Russian-controlled parts of Anatolia are turned into the Turkish SSR.

How do you envision the area developing under Soviet rule? How would this impact geopolitics? Etc.

 

[Samuel Von Straßburg]

Depending on how much of Anatolia would it even be a Turkish SSR? If it was only areas of the east then you could get a greater Armenian SSR, a Kurdish SSR and prehaps even a Pontic SSR.

I think it's more likely that USSR will make a bigger Armenian SSR, but in that SSR there may be a Turkic and a Pontic Greek ASSR.

This discussion reminded me of this map.
I also found this one.

I thought they might be handy to someone.

I agree that there'd be enlarged Georgian and Armenian SSRs, somehow I see Turkey becoming a People's Republic rather than a SSR if they fall under Soviet control. I could also see the Entente occupying western and southern Anatolia.
