The Treaty of Sevres is a document of historical significance,
according to Hayk Demoyan, director of the Armenian NAS Genocide
Museum Institute. In the interview with Armenpress he said that
the possibility of real force of the treaty depends on the concrete
historical period and political situation.
'Today Turkey attempts 'to play a superpower' in the region,'
the historian said. He added that in case Turkey tries to come out
from the horizon of the US or NATO, corresponding measures will be
undertaken against it. One of such measures may be making the Treaty
of Sevres actual.
Levon Shirinyan, political scientist, said that the logic of the
Treaty of Sevres can be repeated and it may become possible in case
the balance of the international forces is changed. He added that the
Treaty of Sèvres is a kind of reminiscence for the Armenian nation;
it reminds about the historical debt.
'As to the legal part of the treaty, it is perfect, but the matter
is the real political possibility of its implementation,' Levon
Shirinyan said. He added that the Ottoman Turkey and the current
Republican Turkey have always got their power from abroad, so in case
the balance of forces is changed, the Armenian nation should present
its demands and remind about the exclusive role of the Armenian nation
in the World War I.
