hey,
for those who know about the treaty of sèvres, they know that it entailed the creation of an independant kurdistan and also allocated some kurdish lands to armenia. here is a map ( very very bad map but only one I can find so far ) :

and another not much better :

still u can clearly see, the kurdish land going through antep also urfa I think, there's amed ( diyarbakir ), but clearly u can see van, bitlis and all the eastern kurdish lands of north kurdistan are in armenia ( and mardin is in syria ).
the dashnak party of armenia, I think some kind of armenian nationalist party, and some other armenian organizations claim that they want to get back "United Armenia" which means all these lands that are in Armenia in that map.
so I wondered several things, first I always thought there was a kurdish majority in all these lands all the time, so logically these lands even before the genocide should have been in Kurdistan.
2nd what do u think of these unrealistic claims they're making... since Van and all these cities is 100% kurdish now ( even if the whole armenian diaspora came back which I doubt, it would still be kurdish... ).
and 3rd should we claim the map of treaty of sèvres as a basis for our request, as many do, since it cuts us off a main part of our land?
thanks.
