Historian Hayk Ghazaryan presented his new book, The 1921 Treaties of Moscow and Kars and their Tragic Role in the Fate of the Armenian People, to reporters today.  The author, who will soon turn 80, worked on this book for more than 50 years and it has now been published in Yerevan.  He studied archives in Moscow, Tbilisi and Baku, received archived documents to examine from Beirut, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London as well as the Genocide Museum in Washington.  The author has also studied the archives of the Communist Party of Armenia, which holds records labeled 'Top Secret' to this day. The book contains the original text of the Armenia-Turkey protocols as well as the decision regarding these documents of the Armenian Constitutional Court in full.  It also contains the article in the Turkish daily Sabah, which featured the Armenia-Turkey roadmap in it April 24 2009 issue. "In 1945, the Soviet army was supposed to invade Turkey and liberate Kars and Western Armenia in general.  At some points, the documents about these plans were taken from Yerevan by Levon Ter-Petrosian and moved to Saratov.  I am an old man.  I ask the younger historians out there to try and find out what happened to those documents, which showed that the Soviet army wanted to liberate Kars, Surmalu and Ardahan," said Hayk Ghazaryan. He said that the Treaty of Kars, signed on 13 October 1921 was based on the Treaty of Moscow, signed between Russia and Turkey on 16 March 1921.  No Armenian representatives were present at the signing of the Treaty of Moscow. "The Treaty of Moscow was written to counter the Treaty of Sevres and is illegal.  No politician – neither in Armenia, nor in the Diaspora – has the right to say that they recognize the Treaty of Kars," said Hayk Ghazaryan. The author's previous works have been translated to Russian, English, French, German and Turkish.  His two-volume work "The Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire" was nominated for the Nobel Prize last year.  "I was told, 'Don't try again.  As long as the US does not recognize the Armenian Genocide, you will not receive the Nobel Prize.'  Now there are people who are willing to translate this new book and I'll present them all together for the Nobel Prize.  Let them give it if they want to, let them reject me if they don't."
