/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said 100
thousand illegal Armenian migrants can be deported from the country.
"There are 170 thousand Armenians living in Turkey. 70 thousand of
them are Turkish citizens. If necessary, I will tell the remaining 100
thousand to leave. I can do so because they are not Turkish citizens
and I'm not obliged to keep them in my country," BBC Turkce quoted
Erdogan as saying.
The fierce reaction of the Turkish PM came after the adoption of
the Armenian Genocide resolution, H.Res.252, by the US House Foreign
Affairs Committee on March 4 and passage of a resolution recognizing
the Genocide of Armenians, Assyrians, Chaldeans and Pontiac Greeks
by the Swedish parliament on March 11.
