In fact, I am very cognizant of the matter, having lived around Armenians most my life, and heard about the matter. I believed it for years, until studying history on my own on unrelated matters. That led me to learning a few contradictory facts.
Yes, I do think they want land, in fact. It is all but impossibble to have a civil conversation with them regarding the matter. Believe me, I am more than aware of the danger they can present if you don´t agree.
...and, I know there are some who most definitly want land and money.
Armenian homeland may affect Turkey and Georgia
Until people can converse about the issue in a dispassionate manner, not seeking vengance nothing can be done. The fact is, the matter of "Armenian Genocide" is nothing in comparison to the African slave trade, the American Indian matters, and here is no country that has any right to speak on the matter until they clean up their own mess.
I am a bit suspicious of your claim about being knowledable of the matter.
A few Armenians saying ´they want Anatolia´ is NOT a security threat to Turkey. Or in that respect they are not more believable than some right wing Greeks who think the west of Turkey must be part of part Greece, or some right wing Turks who think we should reach to Ottomani borders at some stage.
The real question is "those Armenians and those Greeks are posing a danger to Turkey´s integrity?".
My answer is "I dont think so". If you ask Turks in generic, I dont think Turkish people think there is such a danger.
However, the entire incident of 1915 was about "the wealth changing hands" as much as "Ittihat ve terakki leaders´ murderous, instinctive, darwinist decision of wiping Anatolia from non-muslim members".
I am not sure but I think, people who benefited this wealth exchange is resisting the most about this subject being mentioned.
But the truth is there, even if we dont like it.
