YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS: We must demand of Turkey to
meet the commitments intended by Treaty of Sevres and to return
the occupied territories to Armenia, Hayk Babukhanyan, chairman of
"Constitutional Right" union said today at a press conference, adding
that Turkey attacked at Armenia this day 90 years ago, by violating
the terms of Sever Treaty, as a result of which Armenia lost Erzurum,
Trabzon, Van, Bitlis, Kars and Surmalu.
"Over these years Turkey was neither punished for the crime it
committed, nor compensated the rights of Armenians, and went on
methodically annihilating the historical-cultural heritage of Armenian
people," Mr. Babukhanyan said. According to him, we must demand of
Turkey and international states which signed under the Sever Treaty
to fulfill the terms fixed in the treaty.
"We state that Armenian people have not reconciled themselves to the
90-year-old occupation and demand to return the property of Armenian
people," he said. Head of the Social-Democratic Hunchakyan Party
Lyudmila Sargsyan also attached importance to this day, noting that
we must take lessons from it. Hayk Babukhanyan added that Turkey goes
on with its anti-Armenian policy today as well.
