Canada has been very clear that we have called, as have our like-minded allies, for the full right of return without any limitations, and that would include the right of Armenians to return for a short period to collect belongings, to take care of property and to do whatever they choose to do. Again, these are their homes. These are their belongings. They have the right to do with them as they wish, and that right cannot be infringed in any way. Whether it's a permanent right of return to live there or simply a short-term right to dispense with property or to collect personal belongings, that right must be respected.
