/PanARMENIAN.Net/ International law doesn’t provide for inviolability
of borders. They are marked by international treaties, Ara Papyan,
orientalist, specialist in international law and Armenia’s former
Ambassador to Canada told a news conference in Yerevan.

"Till 1933 the Republic of Armenia was recognized by the League
of Nations according to provisions of the Sevr treaty. Presently,
Armenia, as the assignee of the First Republic of Armenia (1918-1920),
has every reason to request the UN Security Council to urge Turkey
to fulfill obligations undertaken in Sevr," he said.

As to formation of an independent Kurdish state, it can happen, since
provision 62 of the Sevr treaty provides for Kurdistan state on the
territory of Iraq, Syria, Turkey and a part of Armenia. We should be
ready for it," the Armenian diplomat underscored.
