YEREVAN, AUGUST 10, ARMENPRESS: The Treaty of Sèvres is a document of historical significance, according to Hayk Demoyan, director of the Armenian NAS Genocide Museum Institute. In the interview with Armenpress he said that the possibility of real force of the treaty depends on the concrete historical period and political situation.
‘Today Turkey attempts ‘to play a superpower’ in the region,’ the historian said. He added that in case Turkey tries to come out from the horizon of the US or NATO, corresponding measures will be undertaken against it. One of such measures may be making the Treaty of Sèvres actual.
Levon Shirinyan, political scientist, said that the logic of the Treaty of Sèvres can be repeated and it may become possible in case the balance of the international forces is changed. He added that the Treaty of Sèvres is a kind of reminiscence for the Armenian nation; it reminds about the historical debt.
‘As to the legal part of the treaty, it is perfect, but the matter is the real political possibility of its implementation,’ Levon Shirinyan said. He added that the Ottoman Turkey and the current Republican Turkey have always got their power from abroad, so in case the balance of forces is changed, the Armenian nation should present its demands and remind about the exclusive role of the Armenian nation in the World War I.
