RUSSIAN-TURKISH TREATY OF 1921 IS ILLEGAL
[10:27 pm] 16 March, 2007
Today the Writers’ House hosted the representatives of NGOs and
parties who claim that the `treaty signed between Russia and Turkey in
1921 laid the Armenia-Turkey borderline via genocide implementation.
`The Republic of Armenia must condemn the Russian-Turkish treaty
signed in Moscow on March 16, 1921,’ they claim.
The presentees have decided to apply to the RA National Assembly, RA
NA Speaker and the chairman of the RA NA Standing Committee on State
and Legal Affairs to condemn the 1921 treaty. They suggest holding
parliamentary hearings on this score.
`Nakhijevan is an Armenian territory but under the illegal treaty of
1921 it was given to Azerbaijan. Armenia has got a full right to take
back Nakhijevan’.
The official circles must handle the matter and the RA NA must set up
a special group of specialists to consider the matter.
The representatives of the United Communists’ party and Progressive
United Communists’ Party were also present at the meeting. `The
cornerstone of our ideology is internationalism. The RA statehood
belongs to all of us despite the person’s political and ideological
views’.
