You tried it.

No, we did not, we were asked to occupy whole syria in 2011 but rejected, it is obvious that syrian adventure would like Saddams Kuwait war.

Sure. Pakistan takes Junagadh and India takes J&K.

But why not go with what was decided at the time of partition? Get a referendum done ? You got Junagadh because of larger hindu population and referendum. Why not do it with Muslim Majority Jammu and Kashmir or maybe india knows they will vote in Pakistan's favour.

Ps: if we are talking Junagadh will you be paying billions earned from Surat as jewellery trade hub ?

Turkey will soon learn the hard way that living by the sword, also means dying by it.

Erdo is a failing wannabe dictator of a coup heavy banana republic thats lost its relevance as a potential soviet battleground for NATO.

Let the lira sink some more, let hunger set in, Let angry people start anti-erdo demonstrations, and finallly, watch some pro-western puppet general coup him out of power. its inevitable, and everyone knows it.

it was barely a century ago that turkey was cut down to 1/3 in size. As soon as the turkish state becomes weak, they will not be able to hold onto their kurdish regions. once they become a failed state, it will be extremely difficult for them to hold all their non-turkish territory.

One of the downsides of being a fascist state. is that as soon as the power of the state declines, all those oppressed will start to look for scores to settle. and alot of people have big scores to settle with pink panturk

I am 100% sure this is a fat stinky Western fake. Assad in his best dreams wish to back Idlib and Kurdistan.

Indeed the title of the article is an exageration.
The actual translation of this document/letter in Arabic first talks about the history of Iskenderun (aka Hatay) then it says that Turkey continues to this day it's aggression on Syrian lands by dismantling Syrian factories and supporting terrorists and occupying more lands (eg: Idlib) and cutting of water supply to Hasakah and nearby areas.
Then it says that iskenderun is in the hearts and minds of Syrians and that they will continue to do everything and spare no effort to regain all occupied land.
So this paper didn't single out regaining iskenderun by name and instead just generalized and said that they will work to regain all lost/occupied land (eg: Idlib, Afrin etc..).

Click bait is every where these days.

This issue is nothing new. It's something that's been around for decades. IMO, stop reading to some here which write about this by pretending to hear this for the first time and then pretending theirself so-called middle east experts. Honestly, we're used to it. Contrary to some other, we do not feel the need to constantly convey this type day dreamers.

According to the Armenian constitution, they do not recognize Turkish lands and they have territorial claims. Ignoring the process of Hatay's separation from the homeland and then the return to the homeland by its people; On the maps in Syria's government offices and schools, and even in the rhetoric of the appointed governors, they openly declare that they are constantly claiming Turkish territory. Even if not as much as these two elements, the peoples of some of our neighbors both in the west and in the east have the same mindset and always express a longing for a divided Turkey. They are uncomfortable with the fact that Turkey no longer allows this activities, and they are free to wank as much as they want here.

Hatay joined the motherland by the free will of its people. Bcs these lands first taken away by the French and British invasions. But It is a part of Anatolia ethnically, religiously, culturally and historically.

It is also unfortunate that some Iranians take a contrary attitude here. Imagine that Tabriz left Iran and joined Azerbaijan. How would that made you feel? Moreover, unlike the situation in Hatay, the people of Azerbaijan and Tabriz have directly the same ethnic origin.

I am okay Pakistan taking both Kashmir and Junagadh. Most Indians are anyway fed up with Modi and his Gujjus.
