If you sincerely believe that YOU were deprived of your right to live on historic Armenian land as a result of the genocide and that you, as an individual, must be compensated by being granted the right to return - then why wait till western Armenia is liberated^ There are huge amounts of liberated land in Artsakh just waiting for you and the thousands of others like you who claim they harbor the NEED and DESIRE to return. And, unlike western Armenia, you won't be confronted by millions of Kurds and Turks in Artsakh.

Is Artsakh land? Did Turkey support Azerbaijan during the 90's war against Armenians of Artsakh? Does Turkey continue to support Azerbaijan? Does Turkey demand the return of Artsakh? Did Turkey prepare to attack Armenia in 1993? Do the lives of 2 million Armenians who were murdered during the genocide have any value to you Misak Guyumchian? Does Armenian property, lands, assets, houses, business, farms, schools, churches, and Armenian lives that were butchered have any value or meaning to you Misak Guyumchian? Does Turkey continue to bode ill will towards Armenia to this day? Does Turkey have an economic, hostile, militarized border blockade on Armenia to this day? The Turks have not only murdered humans, destroyed an ancient culture, civilization and rewritten history, but 99.7% of Turks continue to legitimize the act as well as the racist ideology that led to the act. The genocide of the Armenians at the hands of the Turkish state is still on going (1915-2014). Genocide ends when denial ceases. Genocide is a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. To bring about the disintegration of the political and social institutions, culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups. Is your idea of visiting Turkey for Tourism? Is your idea of meeting Turks to talk about good old days and have a good time? Genocide acknowledgment without accountability is hollow and meaningless. Accountability for land, reparation and restitution. Artsakh is our land, Nakhichevan (Nakh-ichav-van) is our land, Ararat is our land, Ani, Kars, Ardahan, Artvin, Ardanush are our landsn .. you should know the rest. Land of the first Armenian Republic are our lands (which Ataturk attacked and seized 60% from the size of current republic, not to mention the lives of more Armenians butchered) Turkey remains accountable for the crime of genocide: accountability for land, reparation and restitution.

Turkey is accountable for the crime of Genocide. The accountability is land, reparation and restitution. Genocide is the worst crime humanity has given a name. Genocide Acknowledgment without Accountability is hollow and meaningless. Acknowledgment must be accompanied with accountability; otherwise, the acknowledgment is worse than denial. A good example of land recovery is Artsakh.
