Armenian Daily AZG: When Armenia is Strong Enough It Will Take Territories from Turkey
Journal of Turkish Weekly
July 22 2005
Armenian daily newspaper AZG argued that Armenia is not strong enough
to demand territory from Turkey now. But the AZG said, Armenia will
take territories by force from Turkey when it is strong enough.
By Harut Sassounian from AZG further continued:
“Armenians have to wait until such time when Armenia is strong
enough to act on those demands. As everyone knows, territories are
not freely given. They can only be taken by force or diplomacy backed
by strength. The time for that is definitely not now!”
According to AZG, “Pres. Kocharian was careful to avoid acknowledging
that Armenia had territorial demands from Turkey, while just as
carefully refusing to state that Armenia did not have such claims.
Given Armenia’s many current political and economic problems, clearly
this is not the right time to make territorial claims from a powerful
and hostile neighboring state. Pres. Kocharian is correct in neither
asserting such demands nor in giving them up.”
