President Woodrow Wilson's Arbitral Award, which defined the borders between Armenia and Turkey, has been published in full and will be released on Monday, announced Ara Papian, the director of the Modus Vivendi Center, which has been compiling the more than 240-page document.
"On November 22, 1920, Woodrow Wilson signed the Arbitral Award, which defined the border between Armenia and Turkey. However, that important document was kept secret for a long time," added Papian during a press conference to announce the unveiling.
Papian has managed to restore the 245-page document and the attached maps, which clearly depict that not only Nagorno Karabakh, but also Lower Karabakh belongs to Armenia as delineated by President Wilson.
The never-before-published compilation will appear in two volumes. An Armenian translation is already in the works and will be available in two years.
Papian said that this comprehensive compilation will allow for the document to be presented to international legal experts and its conclusion be applied the International Court for a ruling on the matter.
On April 23, Papian was the keynote speaker at an Armenian Genocide commemoration vigil at the Montebello Martyrs' Monument, organized by the San Gabriel Valley Armenian National Committee chapter.
"Armenian territorial rights are based upon several international instruments. The most important of them is the Arbitral Award by the United States President Woodrow Wilson, done on November 22, 1920, which by a binding decision and conclusively defined the boundary between Armenia and Turkey," Papian said in his presentation.
"The main basis for the lawful solution of long-standing Armenian- Turkish problem are not the infamous Armenian-Turkish protocols, but the Arbitral Award, done over 90 years ago in the capital city of this country by the 28th President of the United States of America Woodrow Thomas Wilson," added Papian.

How Woodrow Wilson invisioned Armenia's borders
OK, so Albania and Turkey were pressed by the US into accepting US ideas of where their mutual boundary should be — but they were sworn to secrecy about this data? Zounds!
DUHHHHH not Albania, Armenia SORRY
Why would they hide this document for 90 years? Was Wilson afraid of offending the Muzzies?
So Woodrow “KKK” Wilson gets another award from his fascist buddies.
Hooray for the racist grand kleagal of the Klan.
Maybe we can recruit South Carolina’s No. 1 racist, Jim KKKlyburn, to hand out the award.
Why would someone want to rehabilitate Wilson’s record after all this time?
Are we going to see the original boundaries for Israel published next?

Isn’t that in the Bible?
That would shut up the Arabs.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Thanks, it was my pleasure.
Wilson tried to lay the ex cathedra number on our WWI-era European allies, and they told him to talk to the hand. And they were holding up just the one finger when they did this.
Members of the KKK included President Warren G. Harding, President Woodrow Wilson, President McKinley, President Calvin Coolidge, and President Harry S. Truman.
The Arbitral Award isn’t a prize, it purported to set the common boundary of Armenia and Turkey, hence it awarded certain lands to each nation.
Arrogant bastids know what’s right for everyone, don’t they. And they never change; after all these years they still haven’t learned that they don’t know a thing.
Think ya was sold a pig in a poke here, Civ.
