Re: Prospects of a Kurdish state and what it means for Armenia
.
There seem to be a lot of hot air in this forum about Armenian lands , north Kurdistan etc.
These may be relevant but they need a lot of cooking time.
Let me highlight a far more serious scenario which is so close to our nose we cannot see it.
There has be quite a bit of publicity of “hidden” Armenians who are coming back to the fold. Also adopting the nation's faith.
As we know there is huge pressure on turkey to return Armenian churches and lands of the church which were appropriated.
The way things stand only Turkish citizens and through the Constantinople patriarchy can these lands returned to the church and the people.
It seems there is a huge loophole whereby any group of Turks can claim to be Armenian, adopt the religion and as community claim church and associated lands.
Turkey would love this fiasco to take place.
The question has to be can the patriarchy control events to avoid this sham.
