Conditions for Reconciliation with Turkey

>survival of the nation of Armenia is not a concern

It should be, considering the fact that Turkey committed genocide against this nation. If Turks are civilized people, restitution and making sure an event never takes place again should be a top priority post-recognition. You cannot begin the healing process after genocide if the perpetrator doesnt care for the nations survival.

>Also time is not on your side.

This is only an issue because of Turkey's 100 years of denial, revisionism, and blackmail.

>Let's assume the whole world accepts it

Well thats not even occurred with the Holocaust. Most of the nations of Africa and Asia are not concerned with these kinds of issues unless it occurs within their general sphere. Genocide recognition is very much regionalized and restricted to civilization. Theres a reason why African nations don't recognize things like the Holodomor.

> Do you think Turkey will magically give up and give you all the lands and you are going to live in a Wonderland?

You seriously do not understand the definition of reparation do you?

Heres the definition in English -

>the making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wronged.


>If Turkey would give a damn about the world being against something they would have abandoned Northern Cyprus for a long time.

The vast majority of scholars and politicians believe the pressure for recognition and reparation for the genocide is coming from inside Turkey and not outside. Orhan Pamuk, Taner Akcam, Hrant Dink, Kurdish organizations are all signs of this occurring. 9% recognition by Turks according to opinion polls also indicates this.

If Turkey really didn't care about what the world thought about the genocide, then it wouldnt be dedicating massive amounts of money to preventing countries like the US and Germany from recognizing the genocide. The Turkish government would also not be fucking paying people to put denialist website urls over New York fucking city.
