ARMENIAN ORGANIZATIONS DEMAND THAT RUSSIA CONDEMN 1921 MOSCOW TREATY
YEREVAN, MARCH 16, ARMENPRESS: Two Communist
parties of Armenia, a nationalistic party and several
non-governmental organizations announced today they
will ask the National Assembly to convene
parliamentary hearings on the 1921 Turkish-Russian
Treaty.
Rafik Hambardzumian, head of an obscure National
Pilgrimage organization, said the National Assembly of
Armenia must condemn officially the treaty of March
16, 1921 which gave sizeable portions of historical
Armenian lands to Turkey and placed Nakhichevan under
Azerbaijan’s rule.
He said the Republic of Armenia, as a sovereign
state, should ask Russia to also condemn and
invalidate the 1921 Moscow Treaty.
