The Turks took over half of the land of Armenia when they did their Armenian genocide in 1915.
I am sick of seeing what are ancient sites from ancient Armenia called “Turkey” by the modern clueless media.
I like to think I’m not part of the clueless media. As I said, ethnically Armenian lands are in eastern Anatolia, part of which is Turkey. The town of Batman (which is hilarious) is easternmost on the map graphic, and looks like it’s probably in a Kurdish area, rather than part of Armenia. The rest of the sites and probable lost city sites are squarely in Turkey. The Turks have ruled Anatolic since before 1492, which is itself over 140 years before my earliest immigrant ancestors got to North America.
The Turks wandered on in from Central Asia in the 11th century; ultimately the Byzantines held out for nearly three centuries. The Turks had already converted to Islam, but spread also into northern India. European kings were fighting to conquer or hold small parts of the Holy Land during the same period, and the Kurdish general Saladin worked all sides of the street (Fatimids, Seljuks, he himself was Sunni), part of the internecine warfare in the medieval muzzie world (a medieval period which hasn’t ended yet).
