I agree
Armenians should first make some concessions about Karabakh region, Azerbaijan retaking that region fully at this point is impossible but the current situation is just unacceptable. Secondly, stop with this whole "one" sided genocide sh*t and instead sit at the table work out something real. Turkey has done many things in the last 15 years but the Armenian side kept spitting their hate with twisting facts and reality in their favour.
Armenians want revenge to be honest. Turks should never keep their guard down even if they act so nice because deep down an armenian hatred of Turks knows no bounds.
Hence why Muslims who tell Turks to recognise the genocide dont know the story about what was going on especially Arabs.
If so why do you say Turks should return back to the Altai mountains?
btw... the homeland of our ancestors (Oghuz Turks) is Turkmenistan/Kazakhstan
Who brother, me? Where?

Please provide your source ..thank youArmenia’s reformist prime minister says he’s ready to establish relations with Turkey after his bloc won a landslide victory in Sunday’s parliamentary elections. Nikol Pashinian, a former journalist who was swept into power in May after leading mass protests that forced out his predecessor, said his government was ready to forge ties “without preconditions” with Armenia’s historic rival and hoped Ankara was ready to do the same.
Why it matters: Pashinian, 43, won on a mandate of ending the rampant corruption, poverty and joblessness that have bedeviled the former Soviet state since its independence in 1991. Establishing diplomatic ties and reopening the border with Turkey would help ease the grip of the oligarchs who monopolize Armenia’s economy.
More critically, it would strengthen Yerevan’s hand in talks to end the long-running conflict with neighboring Azerbaijan over the contested mountainous enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, an Armenian-majority region that Armenia wrested from Azerbaijan in 1993. Turkey sealed its border with Armenia in solidarity with its ethnic kin in Azerbaijan, which it had secretly armed throughout the conflict. Normalization with Turkey would also help offset Armenia’s dependence on Moscow and allow Azerbaijan to export gas to Europe via Armenia, a shorter and cheaper alternative to existing lines through Georgia.
The Washington connection: Meanwhile, peace with Armenia would win Ankara much needed brownie points in Congress, where Turkey’s continued detention of US nationals and US Consulate employees, as well as its plans to buy Russian-made S-400 missiles, have triggered bipartisan fury. Both the Senate and the House are threatening a slew of sanctions. And long-touted congressional efforts to formally recognize the mass murder of more than a million Ottoman Armenians in 1915 as genocide would be even less likely to pass.
Turkic solidarity: In an ideal world, Turkey would seize the olive branch being extended. But it has steadfastly refused to do so until Armenia makes peace with Azerbaijan, ceding at least some of the territories it seized around Nagorno-Karabakh. This was not always so. In 2009, Turkey and Armenia signed a set of Swiss-brokered protocols to establish diplomatic relations and eventually reopen their border. But no sooner had the ink dried that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, buckling to Azerbaijani pressure, did a U-turn, saying Armenia needed to make concessions on Nagorno-Karabakh first.
Since then, "the ball squashed by pressure from Baku, has rested squarely in Ankara's court," said Khatchig Mouradian, a lecturer at Columbia University. He told Al-Monitor, “There is little faith in Yerevan that Turkey will decouple the normalization of relations with Armenia from the Karabakh conflict anytime soon.”
What’s next: Erdogan continues to view Azerbaijan’s president, Ilham Aliyev, as a chief regional ally. In any case, Erdogan’s tactical partnership with Turkey’s ultra-nationalists make it highly unlikely that he will respond favorably to Pashinian. Russia, which thrives on regional divisions, will remain the big winner.

story or truth?They want peace, give Azerbadjans land back and stop with that stupid stories about genocide we make peace.
warent the Soviets/Bolsheviks the ones who planted the seeds of modern day Nagarno-Karabakh dispute and conflict?
It played a part
However Armenia has been trying to forcibly take Muslim land and expel Muslims (Turks) since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire
Trust me I have had dealings with Armenians in the past and these guys are worser than the Serbs. At least some Serbs can fight mano to mano. With Armenians these little punks will try to stab you in the back and then run away like bitches.
That's what they did in the Khojaly massacre when the Russian 336th regiment took land for them and then they came in and massacred 500+ Azeri civilians.
That's why no peace unless they give Nagarno Karabakh to Azerbaijan and pay compensation to victims families.
