    Official denies 40,000 Armenian nationals living in Turkey

    YEREVAN

    The chief of the Migration and Refugees Department under the Armenian
    government, Gagik Yeganyan, today described as "absolutely
    inconsistent with reality" the recent statement of Turkish Foreign
    Minister Abdullah Gul that 40,000 Armenian citizens are permanently
    living in Turkey.

    "Gul's statement, to put it mildly, amazed us," Yeganyan said. He said
    that the statement of the Turkish foreign minister pursues purely
    political aims.

    Yeganyan expressed the opinion that against the backdrop of the talks
    on Turkey's entry into the European Union, Abdullah Gul attempted to
    demonstrate that Armenians are getting on very well with Turks.
