IT’S NECESSARY TO PAY ATTENTION TO CLAUSES OF SEVRES TREATY

To 150th Anniversary of Woodrow Wilson

An arrangement dedicated to 150th anniversary of great
friend of Armenia, 28th US president Woodrow Wilson
took place the American University of Armenia
yesterday. A few episodes from the Armenian history
connected with the Armenian Cause were presented.

Deans of the departments of law and political science
as well as historian Armen Ayvazian made speeches. Tom
Samuelian, dean of the law department, presented the
life and deeds of Woodrow Wilson, and Armen Ayvazian
dwelt on a number of clauses of the Treaty of Sevres.
The speaker pointed out to 4 basic tasks within the
Armenian cause: issues of Artsakh and Javakhk,
international recognition of the Armenian Genocide and
Armenian-Turkish relations. In his words, the Sevres
Treaty gave the most correct formula of settling the
Armenian Cause, and "if the territorial nature of the
Armenian Cause is rejected then this issue will not be
settled."

The political scientist was sure that the Sevres
Treaty provides a wonderful legal and political
foundation for approaching the settlement of the
Armenian Cause, and our officials have to revive the
approaches of the Sevres Treaty while signing new
agreements. Asked whether the Sevres Treaty is
perfect, Armen Ayvazian said that neither the Sevres
nor Kars, nor Moscow treaties are perfect simply the
approaches of the former one are acceptable.
