The internet is a funny place. It is a place when two different ethnic groups can come to forums, agree on alliances, and speak on behalf of all of the people in that ethnic group, and proceed to engage in partitioning the lands and defeating Turkey, and all at the same time managing to be serious!
Uniting with Muslims, ANY Muslims, is impossible. They are simply untrustworthy. A further complication is that Kurds and Armenians lived in essentially overlapping territories, so conflict over territory would be bound to happen.
Unfortunately, the only potential allies of Armenia in an Anatolian stage of war were and have been the Orthodox Christian states, and what we're talking about here is essentially Russia and Greece. Georgia has poor relations with Armenians, and Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Ukraine have too weak relations and geographical distance.
But all this talk is absurd. Armenians will never get back "Turkish" Armenia - to do so would require another genocide - this time of Turks - or at least a very brutal expulsion. Just taking the land and ruling over a bunch of angry and unruly Turks would be far worse than not taking it at all.
The best Armenians can hope for in restoring their historic land is, if a war erupts, siezing a small slice of Turkey to take Ararat and get access to the Black Sea, and negotiating a population exchange so Artsakh becomes continuous with Armenia and Nakhichevan with Azerbaijan. That would be a "success" in my book.
You are new and I don't want to sound mean, but you are sounding like an idiot. I suggest you thoroughly think about the topic at hand and our stance towards it before you continue.

More than 30000 Armenian killed by Kurds on the way of emigration in 1915.
The fact that some greedy illiterate nomads or mountain-people were easily manipulated into pillaging, raping, and murdering their wealthier Christian neighbors is far less shameful to their descendants, than is the sophisticated educated Turks of Constantinople (oops, Istanbul) engineering an extermination of the original peoples of Anatolia to their respective descendants. As a country that once aspired to be the inheritor of Roum (yeah right!) and of the Islamic Caliphate (yeah right!), it's a lot more embarassing that your state engineered three genocides in the 20th century alone, than it is that some primitive "Mountain Turks" helped you out in your nefarious crimes.
I don't have to be nice or a Hypocrite how I feel about kurds. We have NOTHING in common and they have everything in common with turks.
I do not want to sound like a crying bag repeating the horror stories how my Grandfather lost all of his family to useless "nomads".
"TUNCELI, Turkey (Reuters) - Kurdish separatist rebels said on Friday they were crossing back into Turkey to target politicians and police after Ankara said it was preparing to attack them in the mountains of northern Iraq."

The only unity I see with Kurds is watching you and the turks bang each other to eternity on my TV screen. And no I am not at peace neither with Kurds or turks. I only hope one day we would be able to live in peace.
For now it is sweet revenge.

I think Armenians and Kurds forming an alliance is an excellent idea. As far as 70,000 Armenians in Turkey, does anyone know if this is true? I was under the impression that there were no Armenians in Turkey.
