Can armenians reclaim eastern anatolia??

Hemshenis are Armenians. But they don't identify with them. I have personal experience with East Hemshenis and they sure as hell didn't call themselves Armenian. I called them Armenian, and they didn't like it. Most even don't know that their so-called language is an Armenian dialect. Besides they are not populous enough to create a base for Armenian claims in Eastern Turkey.

Stop deluding yourself.

It will never happened.

I think it would be good for everyone if armenians start care much more about their internal problems rather externals.

The population of Armenia has been constantly dicreesing since 1991. There are about 2 mln armenians live there at the moment. Interesting isn't it???))

Trabzon? The only reason for the fiasco of Sevres to give Trabzon to a newly formed Armenian state was to provide them some sort of trading port. And as you know, Erzurum, and the surrounding regions are the castles for Turkish nationalism in the east, Igdir is Azeri Turks by majority and Erzincan, well they got rid of Armenian invaders once, they can do it again!

Returning to real life, Armenia is no way claiming lands from anyone, except official Azerbaijani land of Karabagh. The total population of whole Armenia is less than the total population of five provinces of Eastern Turkey.

Err also you should remember your others lovely neighbours, russia georgia and iran.

It is not only our guilt.

Ah also you should get rid of your mafia style goverment.

By the way, I dont think armenia anytime can get trabzon, I think only my relatives have largest arsenal than ROA. Find another city. Trabzon is a dangerous city.

Interestingly, while the USSR had double Turkey's GDP, independent Armenia had half of it until recently. It is still significantly less despite handouts from the diaspora. What truth does this speak of?

So? It is not NATO that is the problem, it is the military. Do you think the military will disappear if Turkey leaves NATO tomorrow?  Besides if Turkey leaves NATO, it will ally itself with Russia or Iran. Which will be pretty bad news for you.

 And I had always thought that I was an optimist. Let's say you are right for sake of argument, and 200k out of whatever million people in the region are self declared Armenians. What makes you think that they'll all support joining with Armenia? Let's assume they all do, do you think they are enough? 

And some people live in their own fantasy land with pink clouds and purple skies.

That's a very bad example. Marshall (not General) Tito knew full well the nationalist threat in Yugoslavia.

This is better. Yes, even the CIA couldn't guess 5 years ago. But this doesn't mean that Armenia will conquer Turkey.

This is all political maneouvering. It was concievable 10 years ago as well. Germany has already proved itself to be an unreliable ally back then, by making it clear that it would not help Turkey in case of an Iraqi attack during the first Gulf war (repeated it in the second one as well, with better reasons this time).

Keep on dreaming. Even if Turkey loses those areas, they will become Kurdish, not Armenian. And no imperialist great powers will invade Turkey and create an Armenian mandate for themselves, unlike in 1920, so I recommend not holding your breath.

Anyway, you don't represent the Armenian state. They have a realistic attitude. Diaspora is dreaming, but the state is sober, so the future could still be bright for all.
