 It is unlawful to designate the Armenian assets as " abandoned goods " for the Armenians , the proprietors , did not abandon their properties voluntarily ; they were forcibly , compulsorily removed from their domiciles and exiled . Now the government through its efforts is selling their goods ... Nobody can sell my property if I am unwilling to sell it . Article 21 of the Constitution forbids it . If we are a constitutional regime functioning in accordance with constitutional law we can 't do this . This is atrocious . Grab my arm , eject me from my village , then sell my goods and properties , such a thing can never be permissible . Neither the conscience of the Ottomans nor the law can allow it .
