Armenia is preparing to lay territorial claims to Turkey at the
constitutional level
Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Armenia is not going to give up its external
aggression policy and is ready to lay territorial claims to Turkey at the
constitutional level.
`Public discussions (with regard to the constitutional reforms) are mostly
concentrated at the political reorganizations and changes in the
administration systems. But in my opinion, constitutional reforms provide
significant and interesting possibilities in foreign policy sphere', - said
Armen Ashotyan, the Minister of Education and Science, Deputy Chairman of
the leading Republican Party of Armenia.
As it turned out, he suggested returning to his idea proposed in 2005.
`In particular, I suggest to discuss the issue of renaming of our state
from the point of view of restoration of historical truth, patriotism and
legitimate demands. I think that it would be more correct to call the state
formed at this part of Armenian Upland `the Republic of Eastern Armenia', -
Ashotyan said.
De facto such name will demonstrate territorial claims to Turkey where the
`Western Armenia' is located. Ashoyan didn't conceal the reasons for
introductions of such claims into the constitution: approaching 100th
anniversary of so called `Armenian genocide', events that took place in
Eastern Anatoly during the World War I (1915-1918) and disintegration of
Osman Empire (1918-1923).
It should be noted that since disintegration of USSR Armenia has occupied
20% of Azerbaijan territory after unleashing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in
1988.
