Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Armenia–France relations
It doesn't matter that the Armenian genocide occurred before there was an Armenian state, because France's present-day reaction to it is of unquestionable significance to its relationship with the state that exists now. Regardless, I also dispute that such an article can or should only be limited to formal interactions between the presently-existing modern states, for the same reason that we don't limit History of Armenia or History of France only to those modern legal entities. Is History of France  for linking Roman Gaul or the Bourbon dynasty to the Fifth Republic? Nonsense. We are not inventing that continuity; historians already have. I also question the merit in a strict adherence to  for such foreign relation articles. The usual concerns, such as self-promotion of insignificant individuals or organizations or lack of verifiable NPOV information, would seem to me not to apply to the relationship (both historical and present) of two countries even if there is not "significant coverage" in reliable secondary sources on that relationship per se. So even if it can only be pieced together from news accounts, "trivial" mentions in secondary sources, and primary source government documents, I don't see why that's a problem for this kind of subject. If there is a counterargument, I'd like to hear it
