Russia Should Demand Turkey to Return Western Armenia, Says Zhirinovsky

MOSCOW (Arminfo) — Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, stated that little will remain of Turkey if various countries including Armenia claim their territorial lands back.
“In response to Turkey’s refusal to recognize Crimea’s reunion with Russia, we should recognize the Turkish Kurdistan as an independent state and demand Turkey to return the lands of Western Armenia. If Greece, Bulgaria and other countries having territorial claims to Turkey demand their lands back, little will remain of Turkey,” Zhirinovsky, said at the Russian State Duma.
On February 15, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said his country considers Crimea as part of Ukraine saying “by supporting Armenia, Russia threatens the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.”
“Such statements by Davutoglu, at least, underline his ignorance. Actually, he does not know that Russia received Crimea after defeating Turkey and making the Kucuk Kaynarca Peace Treaty. Ukraine bears no relation to that treaty,” the politician said.
Signed in 1774 between the Russian Empire and Ottoman Empire the Treaty of Kucuk Kaynarca confirmed the territorial victories of Russia endorsed in the previous Belgrade Peace Treaty dating back to 1739, recognizing the independence of the Crimean khanate from Turkey. In 1783, Ekaterina II annulled the points concerning the independence of Crimea and issued a decree on accession of Crimean peninsula, Taman Island and Kuban region to the Russian Empire.
On April 24, 2015, the Armenians worldwide commemorated the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide in Western Armenia. Turkey still denies the genocide of 1.5 million Armenians in 1915- 1923. The Armenian Genocide has been recognized by most of the United States of America as well as by 23 countries, Vatican, European Parliament, World Church Council, and other authoritative organizations

    Such comments are welcome, of course. But they will be interpreted as “fighting words” to psychopathic, belligerent Turkey. We must be prepared for an invasion of Armenia or Artsakh at any time, particularly as tensions rise between Turkey & Russia in Syria.
    Too bad Zhirinovsky did not refer to Stalin’s “gifting” of Armenian Artsakh to Azerbaijan.

    Yes, we (the Armenians) agree!
    But, we also question the delay in recognizing the restoration of the Armenian Homeland by Russia who may try to turn our Motherland to another battle ground for their greed and selfish interests.
    Why just a few years ago the Russian President celebrated the anniversary of the Moscow Treaty with his Turkish (Islamist) counterpart?
    After a genocide by the Turks (and the Kurds) and backstabbing by Russian communists, I hope that the Armenian politicians (this time around) will play their cards with much care for the sake of preserving the nation.

    If antagonized, Turkey might shut down Bosporus and Dardanelles straits to Russian shiping and entrap Russia’s navy in the Black Sea! Mr. Zhirinovsky should be careful! Extreme rhetoric does not solve any problems. In fact, it might make Nagorno Karabakh situation worst!

    Long live Armenia. Long live Russia. I salute you Mr. Zhirinovsky. Urrrrraaaaaa. The time has almost come that our lands will be liberated. Just as past history has shown backstabbers and traitors such as some of the commenters here will be our only obstacle in achieving LIBERATED ARMENIA.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.

    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
