Can armenians reclaim eastern anatolia??

it has been ample topics on whether the genocide took place or not... and everyone defends its nation

let's start form the end: assume that turkish government accepts the armenian genocide and gives a political apology

what consequences will it have?

do armenians have automatic right to reclaim the eastern anatolia as a compensation of that genocide

or will this debate cools down and genocide will be remembered just like holocaust is?

without clear-cut political and territorial advantages would armenians support this incident??

I think there is more to this event than what we are led to believe... There should be an independent and impartial investigation into exactl what happened. But i am really sick of the West and its double standards.

Small pieces of course

I think the British should recognise their genocide of Kurds in the 20s when Winston Churchill savagely ordered the murder of thousands of Kurds by chemical gases.  Winston Churchill should be tarnished as the ruthlessblood thirsty villain he was... Gallipoli and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of allies and ottomans in a pointless operation was also his doing.

do you mean that internataional treaties, NATO and UN being the first, will force turkey to reopen its east to armenians and in the future (NOT REMOTE I THINK) allow armenia to expand to near kayseri??

is there any prior example of such an incident in international affairs?

I don't think there are enough Armenians to populate it anyway...

The only thing that will allow Armenians with a EU passport (maybe 2 or 3 millions) to move and resettle Turk Armenia will be Turkey entering EU. It will probaly help many other (retired) EU citizens from the north to move to the western and southern coast, inceasing the cost of living and changing the local demography. Greeks of Anatolian ascent, fo course, would also be able to return to their former homelands freely, as will the Turks of Greece origin if that's what they wish. And many Turks and Kurds will have easier to migrate to Germany and other European countries as well.

The Genocide issue is more about clearing up the past. Making peace and honoring the dead.

Though you never know, considering Israel is claiming a land that lost 2000 years ago

Western Armenia will not be delivered to us on a silver plate, even if the Armenian genocide is recognized by the Turkish government. It will be claimed that the perpertrators of the genocide were Ottomans, and not Turks, so the whole Armenian "question" will be forgotten again.

88 years ago, nobody thought that an independant Armenian state will be recreated in its' original historic homeland, after hundreds of years of foreign domination, but it happened. 

50 years ago, nobody thought that Armenia will eventually be independant, but it happened...

Why is it impossible?

then crimea should return to turks as a compensation of ethnic cleansing of russians after the crimean war

or karabakh to azerbaijan for reasons surrounding armenian slaughter in early 90's

or western turkey to greece for ever-vanished greek population present before turkish independence war

or west trachia to turks as compensation of ethnic pressure

or parts of nevada and dakota to indians of american shames

whatever... where will we stop?

ok then.. everybody decides its own favorite territory and get ready for march!!

leave aside the joke and let' be more realistic

the most probable result of such an acceptance will be monetary and armenians could well get a bit bite from turkish budget...

i think the cost will make a total of 2-3 billion dollars which makes every armenian in caucasus a car-holder

istanbul has no spare seats anymore

only sea remained unsettled
