West Armenia Or North Kurdistan?, Discussing the matter of land ownership... Options

[Dîrî]

Map from The Treaty of Sèvres:





Some questions to start the discussion:

1| Who inhabited these lands the last 200 years?

2| Who inhabits these lands now?

3| Who has legal rights to these lands?

4| Who legally owns these lands now?

5| What happened in these lands the last 100 years?



Before hand I would like to ask all trolls to bugger off to another thread... This thread is not a place for hate or rascism - nor am I going to tolerate any insults on any of the parts discussed...

Please be civil and polite...

He means Zohrab.

Where did you get the numbers (10 million Kurds and 3 million Turks)? All of you are forgetting the Armenians of Hamshen, as well as the crypto-Armenians (i.e. Armenians who were forcefully converted to Islam). They do exist. I've met one through the internet.

Besides, in the past, there was a time during which thousands of Armenians from the Diaspora repatriated. I'd expect this to happen if Armenia gets land from Turkey.

the Hamshen arnt enough to constitute a majority, were looking at something like 2 million people at most.

and I,m sure it will happen, but not in great enough numbers to really re-populate the area.
we need to give it time. lets be economically stable first.

obviously there is no question that we should have ararat and the surroundings, Ani... but all the way to cilicia will prove to be quite the challenge
