Should Turkey compensate-your thoughts?

[Baron Dants]

Not to mention that if these lands were given back to Armenia, we'd have a larger number of Turks and Kurds in Armenia than Armenians. And they would eventually gain citizenship...and a cute little surprise would await us at the next presidential elections.

well we could just do what Israel has done in this situation - since - to some degree - it is basically the zionist model that most who call for such follow (meanwhile condemning Israel for xxxxxling on innocents and being racist in outlook - etc)

No matter - it is such an unreal prospect it is hardly even worth discussing - certainly not at the level that most on the internet in these Armenian forums do...

I was thinking...just the land...no Kurds or Turks....heh

And does that make us any better than what we accuse Kurds and Turks of being?

I didnt mean to kill them!!! I meant let them live on their own freakin land.

So we deport them?


That still sounds eerily familiar.

hummm call me selfish, but I don't really care much about Turks or Kurds living on the lands, as long as we don't harm them, I could care less if they're deported or gain Armenian citizenship (though I prefer deporting). I rather think about what's best for my nation than turkish population. When was the last time they gave a damn about us?

It's unbelievable how some Armenians are saying (voting) Turkey doesn't owe us anything but an apology, no land, no money, it makes me sad ... I think they're getting closer to their goal. Mission accomplished Turkey. Now you can admit to it all without having to pay us a penny for their blood. Good job you guys!

[Baron Dants]

I can see us getting PARTS of our land back (and this is the idealist in me speaking), such as Ararat, Ani, yevayln.

But when it comes to cities which now have 3 million inhabitants, saying that you'd prefer to deport them is a sign of the Armenians' Turkification.

You mean you're gonna be alive when that happens? You sure plan to live long.

No, I'm not planning to live long. In fact, I hate my life and if my religion allowed it, I would have ended my misery long ago!

If it does not happen while I'm still alive, I'll cancel the party! You've never canceled a party before?
Are you in or not?

On a more serious note, I'm sure that you understand that the meaning of a statement is not always in the text; sometimes, it's in the intent! It's a statement!

I don't think they'll ever return our lands, the only way we can ever have our lands back is by military force (which won't be in near future), just like we did with Karabagh...

You are truly underestimating the generosity of a Nation who cared enough for our ancestors' lives to assume the monumental cost - despite the economic hardship - of relocating them - as a measure of protection - away from the War Zone and to safer places - like Heaven!
I'm ashamed - as an Armenian - to realize how ungrateful we are as a Nation!

B-side: Of course, they won't . If anything they would claim what's remaining as theirs! I agree with you!

C-side (final cut Don't worry, we'll have a glass of Cointreau in Western Armenia. It will be on me!

Hah generosity indeed

I want them to give the land back, and do not care where or how they live. Nor do I care how eerily familiar it sounds. I would not personally kill them or wish to see them be killed by other Armenians - it's not the same.

If it isn't clear still, I do not think we will get our land back any time soon either. It's just something I want, and I know that my wanting doesn't exactly motivate Turkey, but as they say, "to want is not harmful"
