The Yerkramas Newspaper has published the article by the deceased
diplomat Levon Eiramjyan who proves that the Treaty of Moscow was
signed for 25 years, expiring in 1946. According to the Treaty,
the Armenian territories were divided between Turkey, Azerbaijan
and Georgia, it is still effective though historians argue that even
Turkey was willing in 1946 to return West Armenia but to Armenians,
not to the Russians.
This is the main agreement dividing Armenia, and ahead of the 100th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, the necessity to revise it
occurs. Levon Eiramjyan argues that this treaty and some secret
protocols are not studied well enough and have not been put to
public discussion. Meanwhile, the treaty contains the grounds for
the unification of West and East Armenia.
A taskforce for preparing the legal package for revision of
Armenian-Turkish relations adjunct to the State Commission set up
in 2011 under a presidential decree has been formed. It was headed
by the ex-prosecutor general Aghvan Hovsepyan who made a sensational
statement in one of the first meetings of the taskforce. He did not
rule out territorial claims to Turkey. Later on, after the decision
to join the Eurasian Union because it contradicted the interests of
Russia and its partner Turkey.
The speaker of parliament Galust Sahakyan, however, made an interesting
proposal to Russia. He invited his Russian counterpart to take part
in the international parliamentary conference which will be held in
April 2015 in Yerevan. The conference will be devoted to the genocide
and the regional situation because revision of approaches to the
genocide and displacement of the Armenians may change the regional
arrangement altogether.
It is not known what package the commission will prepare but it is
obvious that Armenia may demand revision or repealing of international
treaties. In the case of the Treaty of Moscow which was "reinforced"
by the Treaty of Kars, revision might be easy because the treaty
was signed in 1946, and Turkey actually keeps the Armenian forces
illegally.
Armenia must come up with such an initiative, whether the West or
Russia will support or not. Armenia was divided 100 years ago only
because it covered up Russia's sins and the western connivance with
the Russian-Turkish plot rather than pursued its own interests.
