1 Ataturk was not involved in 1915. He was at Gallipoli at the time. He never fought in the east during WW1. Yes he created a nationalist Turkiye but what happened before 1920s is not his responsibility.
2 This map is not supporting peace. Where will millions of Turks go?

I saw this exact map + the rest of Greece on the frontpage of a nationalist Greek newspaper over 20 years ago.

Masturbating over bygone times and ancient grievances is pointless.
You either have the political, economic and military power to do something about it, or you don’t.
This, conversely, is a form of weakness. Posting garbage about old maps and monasteries, khachkhars and whatever. It is the emotional outlet of someone who is not strong enough to inhabit the real world where we are much diminished by our tribulations.
If you want to have any hope of a powerful Armenia in the future, then that has to start with being realistic about how weak we are in the present, rather than inhabiting a plane of perpetual victimhood, lament and psychodrama.

I mean, Van, Kharpert, Bitlis, and others assigned to Kurdistan are Armenian… but I agree with the sentiment. (:
