let's buy an island and call it Armenia

[Thai-Samurai]

You can think of Armenia as an island. And we can gather all our cultural treasures there. And then since we're Armenian we can be Armenian there. And we can try to solve the problems of poverty and unemployment.

I would think that 3.5 million dollars that you pay for the island, would be put to better use in rebuilding Armenia.

Thats defenetly a better idea!
If only the RICH armenians outside armenia start any bizniz in armenia so there will be many jobs IN armenia so more happy ppl in armenia! less ppl wanting to leave!instead of running away on an Island....with tsunamies and hurricanes surrounding you and dont forget shark attacks!!

Really more ppl should invest in Armenia!

Btw, I assume you guys know about the island of Saint. Lazarus given to Mkhitar and his monks by Venetians after his escape from Turks in 1715. It's actually an Armenian island near Venice. Maybe we could buy the rest of the islands and Venice itself (3.5 trillion?). It could be another city-state that could easily accomodate millions of Armenians.

I got a better idea. Buy an island and put the turks on it.

The more primitive and hostile, the better. It will also be cheaper.

Then when all Armenian land is united and giving forth its fruits to its rightful owners, there won't be any more problems.

An island for turks? Isn't the moon better. Or better Mars. turks can be the first explorers of Mars.

Wonderful idea, but now you are talking supermegabucks to transport
70 million turks into space.

^^ we can tell them it's for their own good and it'll be putting them out of harms way in case of a war. Although, they may not need any reason to go as they are used to occupying other's lands or planets in this case.

no way what if mars is inhabited by a race of geniuses and they give Turks super-intelligence, and super powers, like unlimited strength and stamina.
We better send ourselves there first just to check it out.

This island is almost the same idea Cilician Armenian princes had when Armenia was crumbling under Byzantine and Seljuk rule!

We have to rise up above this kind of stuff and make do with the best we have and stay proud. We tend to grovel to countries like the US sometimes to get our ends on the international scene. We run away from our problems too much and complain about Turks too much, instead of complaining to EU and so forth about this excuse for a government they have in Turkey we need to take matters into our own hands. Demand justice dont ask for it and fight for the justice yourself, dont leave it to others.
