What gets me is that people always talk about the land and not people who live there. As if they don’t matter at all. Do you need that piece of land that bad so that Armenians living there have to abandon their homes?

They might as well agree with it. Or agree with some of it. It just strikes me how everyone wants to put everyone else into these well-defined black-and-white boxes. I get that it’s simpler, but it’s often at odds with reality.
