    Igdir Mayor Aras: Turks Forced To Evacuate Their Homes And Land In
    Yerevan Will Be Determined Soon


    IGDIR - Igdir Mayor Nurettin Aras has indicated that his office has
    started working on finding out the Turks that were forced to evacuate
    their homes and land in Yerevan during the First World War and the
    1930s.

    ''Some of the Turks moved to Igdir. We are now closely working with
    local administrations in Igdir to find out the names and number of
    Turks who were forced to evacuate their homes in Yerevan,'' said
    Aras.

    Aras added that the Armenians massacred hundreds of Turks. ''We will
    firstly find out which Turks were forced to flee Yerevan. Once we
    know the names of Turks forced to leave Yerevan, we will be filing
    legal action against the Armenians,'' told Aras.
