Saco, that’s ridiculous. Your suggestions sound more like a Christmas wish list for Santa Clause than reality.
You seriously cannot expect the Turkish taxpayer to cough up billions of dollars and accept a ‘greater Armenia’ by ceding territory, monuments, structures, archives etc for the sake of satisfying your perceived view of making this right.
Most of what you said will end up being an obstacle and impediment to recognition and reconciliation, guaranteed. I think you need to align yourself more to Steph’s thinking. Yes you have the right to demand recognition but forget about all the other things.
Some positive gestures and concessions may be possible but these will always be conditional upon the goodwill of the Turkish people
...never forget that regardless of how painful that is to hear. It could never be forced upon them by a external party.
Reading your post quite frankly leads me to believe that Armenians themselves are unwittingly feeding this denial process.
Is it any wonder that with such a divergence of views within the Armenian community about demands for compensation, territory, apology or no we just want recognition only, that a lot of Turks play cat and mouse or just close up shop and ignore the whole thing.
Forget about living in a free country, I think your living in fantasy land. Perhaps it’s just the exuberance of your youth, I don’t know.
I respect what your saying but there is more to this issue then you think and I see many events being marginalized and it is nothing less then painful.
