The Relationships of Armenia-Turkey

[Joseph]

I have read it in "Milliyet", a Turkish newspaper about this poll, but I have no idea about credibility of it or if it is wide-scaled enough to come with a healthy result.

I don't find it very credible and polls like this are often so unscientific that the should be rendered meaningless. They are worded and utilized in a certain way to fit the focus groups opinion.

There really is no unified view regarding land claims for Armenians just like there is no all emcopassing Turkish view regarding Armenians.

I find it hard to believe that 90% of Armenians don't want relations with Turkey unless our lands are returned.. It sounds like baloney to me. Did you read this in Armenian sites/papers or Turkish?

It is black propaganda. Who knows who actually produced it. Could be from right-wing Turks wishing to stop any attempts towards Turkish contacts with Armenia, or from those currently in economic and political power in Armenia who wish to maintain the status-quo, or from outside Powers who do very nicely from their divide-and-conquer policies.

I once read a survey by Fatma Muge's Armenian scholar friends, she emailed ma that survey, I'll try to find it, as far as I remember it had similar figures.
