Director of the Institute of History at the National Academy of
Sciences of Armenia Ashot Melkonyan considers that the Peace Treaty
of Sevres liquidated the state that had become a prison for many
peoples as well as created new geopolitical reality.
"It became a peculiar Nurnberg precedent from the point of view of
resolution of the Armenian Cause," Melkonyan said adding that many
peoples in the Ottoman Empire became de jure independent as the treaty
was signed, and historical truth was restored.
"On August 10, 1920, head of Armenia's delegation Avetis Aharonyan
signed the treaty with a special gold pen, according to which the
Republic of Armenia received vitally important conditions - exit
to the outer world with a territory of 161 thousand square meters,"
Melkonyan mentioned.
