Condemn the Moscow Treaty of 1921!



The Treaty of Moscow was a friendship treaty between Grand National Assembly of Turkey and the Bolshevik government of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. It was signed on 16 March 1921. Neither the Republic of Turkey, nor the Soviet Union was established at the time.
Rafik Hambardzumian, head of an obscure National Pilgrimage organization, said the National Assembly of Armenia must condemn officially the treaty of March 16, 1921 which gave sizeable portions of historical Armenian lands to Turkey and placed Nakhichevan under Azerbaijan's rule.

He said the Republic of Armenia, as a sovereign state, should ask Russia to also condemn and invalidate the 1921 Moscow Treaty.
Seems futile, doesn't it? And besides, what will this accomplish?

I totally agree with you. People should stop living in the past and look forward into the future instead.
