SECRE
ENCLOSURE D
PROBABLE FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Demands of the type made by the "Armenian National Council" in
New York for the transfer of Turkish territory* to the USSR will have
no effect whatever on the present firm attitude of the Turks. Never-
theless, Moscow may be expected to use such demands, as well as other
grievances against the Turks aired at the conference, to intensify
Soviet anti-Turkish propaganda. Effective use will be made of the
strong Armenian hatred for the Turks, and even those Armenians who
are opposed to communism may be relied on to support territorial claims
on behalf of the Armenian SSR. Armenian denunciation of the Turks for
their past record of massacre and brutality will also undoubtedly be
played up by Soviet and pro-Soviet propagandists.
*
The New York Times of 5 May 1947 reported that the conference, at
its closing session at Carnegie Hall on 4 May 1947, unanimously
adopted a resolution asking the United States for a "final and
just determination of Armenian territorial claims."
