KARS TREATY WAS CONCLUDED WITH GROSS VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW:
ARMENIAN MP
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 3. ARMINFO. The issue of recognizing or not
recognizing the Kars Treaty is not on Armenia’s foreign political
agenda, says ARFD MP Levon Lazarian commenting on the Turkish media
reports saying that Armenia’s FM has acknowledged this treaty.
“I don’t think that Vardan Oskanyan has ever spoken about Armenia’s
acknowledging the Kars Treaty. This must be some misinformation,” says
Lazarian. He notes that the treaty was signed with gross violations
of the international law as it was imposed by the Turkish-Russian
Moscow Treaty stipulating that all the South Caucasian republics
should later sign similar treaties with Turkey. “In fact the Kars
Treaty was imposed on Armenia and nobody asked its opinion,” says
Lazarian.
To remind, under the Kars Treaty 1921 the Soviet Russia gave Turkey
part of historical Armenian provinces with the towns of Kars, Ardagan,
Igdir and Bitlis.
