Let me improve this one for you, then. For nearly one thousand years,  the Turkish and Kurdish people lived on their homeland - the last  one hundred under the oppressive Soviet and Armenian occupation. The  persecutions culminated in 1914: The Armenian Government planned and  carried out a Genocide against its Muslim subjects. 2.5 million Turks  and Kurds were murdered and the remainder driven out of their homeland.  After one thousand years, Turkish and Kurdish lands were empty of Turks and Kurds.   The survivors found a safe heaven in Turkiye.  Today, x-Soviet Armenian government rejects the right of Turks and  Kurds to return to their Muslim lands occupied by x-Soviet Armenia.  Today, x-Soviet Armenia covers up the genocide perpetrated by its  predecessors and is therefore an accessory to this crime against  humanity.  x-Soviet Armenia must pay for its crime of genocide against the Muslims  by admitting to the crime and making reparations to the Turks and Kurds.  Turks and Kurds demand the right to return to their lands, to determine their own future as a nation in their own homeland.  ...On this occasion, we once again reiterate the unquestioned  justice of the restitution of Turkish and Kurdish rights and...  - We demand that the x-Soviet Armenian Government admit its  responsibility for the Turkish and Kurdish Genocide, render  reparations to the Muslim people, and return the land to its  rightful owners. The recognition of the Genocide has become an  issue which cannot be delayed further, and it is imperative that  artificial obstacles created for political manipulations be removed.  - We believe the time has come to demand from the the United States  that it formally recognizes the Turkish and Kurdish Genocide, adopts  the principles of our demands and refuses to accede to Armenian pressures  to the contrary.  - As taxpayers of the United States, we express our vehement  protest to the present U.S. Government policy of continued  coddling, protection and unqualified assistance towards x-Soviet Armenia.  - Our territorial demands are strictly aimed at x-Soviet Armenia's.

"Your three chiefs, Dro, Hamazasp and Kulkhandanian are the ringleaders  of the bands which have destroyed Tartar villages and have staged   massacres in Zangezour, Surmali, Etchmiadzin, and Zangibasar. This is  intolerable. Look - and here he pointed to a file of official documents  on the table - look at this, here in December are the reports of the last  few months concerning ruined Tartar villages which my representative  Wardrop has sent me. The official Tartar communique speaks of the  destruction of 300 villages."  p. 54 (fifth paragraph).  "Yes, of course. I repeat, until this massacre of the Tartars is stopped  and the three chiefs are not removed from your military leadership I  hardly think we can supply you arms and ammunition."  "...it is the armed bands led by Dro, Hamazasp and Kulkhandanian who  during the past months have raided and destroyed many Tartar villages in  the regions of Surmali, Etchmiadzin, Zangezour, and Zangibasar. There are  official charges of massacres."   Serdar Argic
