Wilson . Western Armenia Turkey is not!Lisa Ter-Minasian, Toluca Lake, CA

Armenians around the world and human rights activists will not allow this misappropriation and request UNESCO and the Member States to a halt once and for all this infernal machine which after the systematic destruction of the people Armenian Western Armenia continues appropriating, exploiting and destroying a culturally ancient and indigenous civilization.

By agreeing to include the medieval Armenian capital of Ani on the heritage list world cultural demand of Turkey and without the approval of the Armenian people of Western Armenia, UNESCO would commit an act contrary to international law, the basis of the principle of prior, free and informed with existing treaties and Arbitral Award of President Woodrow Wilson.
