Can we sue turkey

I heard Armenia can sue turkey for the genocide, if so why dont we?

We have enough evidence and if we win we could get a lot of money and land

Re: Can we sue turkey

Don't hold your breath. Even if we could start a suit against Turkey, which court would it be conducted in? For the sake of argument lets say its in a neutral court like The Hague (which probably won't happen, but lets just say). We have had all the evidence for decades now, and even if the court rules in our favor, does the international community have the leverage and motivation to compel Turkey to "give" us money and land? Probably not. The U.S. invasion of Iraq is a clear example that the international community is in no position to tell the U.S. or any of its allies what they must or must not do.

Armenians shouldn't get complacent with this legal mumbo-jumbo, or rely on the international community to save our country. The only way we will ever restore our land from Turkey is if the geopolitical situation favors an attack on them and if Armenians carry out the actual "dirty work" in a military conflict. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying or is very naive.

Its important to stress that "legality" depends on who holds power.

Neutral in theory, and for the sake of argument.

Its non-neutrality just further proves my point that the international community can't do sh*t against U.S. interests.

Re: Can we sue turkey

First we want to see America legally accepting the Genocide, then things could happen for us. Turkey must remunerate for our losses, our buildings and our lands by giving us our thousands of years' lands back. That should be the price of the renumeration. We want our lands back. Including Naxichevan.

Re: Can we sue turkey

the only way to get it back is for Armenians to mate like rabbits and over populate Armenia, and the surrounding areas, the world is never going to give and underpopulated country more land so their minuscule population can not live there.

Can gays do this?

yes,especially easy for the lesbians, it's called artificial insemination, as for gay men they can pay women to have their kids or adopt a bunch of non Armenians kids and raising them armenian, thus increasing the numbers of armenians

Re: Can we sue turkey

What an interesting topic!

I was born in 1989 and I can't be responsible for genocide and my family are also too.

and Turks have been living Anatolia for about 1000 years(very before 1776) and it is very hard to change.
