  1. Just a note to thank Mr. papazian and the panelists on a thorough professional expose of the sevres treaty and its legal justification. I am quite hopeful that our younger generations will carry the torch , without despair until final realisation of our objectives.

  2. “We must bear in mind that Turkey’s other neighbors are not exactly thrilled with many of Ankara’s regional policies either. Iran, Iraq, Syria, Israel, Greece, Cyprus, Libya and Egypt all have reasons for concern.”

    I find it very hard to believe that Israel could possibly be against “Ankara’s regional policies.” It was up to only a little while ago that Israel had been vigorously assisting Turkey for many years in its endless, brutal campaign of Armenian Genocide denialism. Furthermore, Israel has sold at least five billion dollars worth of highly sophisticated military weapons (by now, the figure must be around ten billion dollars) to Turkey’s little brother, Azerbaijan, which are being used to launch attacks against Armenian villages (by the border) as well as being used to kill our precious Armenian soldiers. This therefore makes Israel an accomplice to the Turkbaijanis’ endless, brutal campaign of terrorism against Armenia and Artsakh.
