    Armenian citizens that are residing illegally in Turkey have criticized
    government, Armenian lobby for worsening of relations with Turkey.

    "We are ordinary people, we have never dealt with policy and we do
    not want to suffer because of the Armenian politicians and lobbies.

    Armenians residing in the United States, Europe and Russia are very
    rich and they do not care about us. The lobby and our corrupted
    government are doing everything to complicate our life. If living
    conditions in Armenia were good, we would have earned a living in
    our homeland, not here. We are grateful to Turkey that it provided
    us with this opportunity", an Armenian citizen on temporary residence
    in Istanbul told in her interview with Turkish Kanal1 TV channel.

    Another Armenian citizen baking sweets in the Istanbul Aksaray quarter
    said she does not want to leave Turkey. "I have been here for about
    four years. I earn money here and then I send it to Yerevan where most
    of my relatives are jobless. I ask not to send us back. We are doomed
    to famine in Armenia. This is the government that should be blamed,
    while people in Armenia have nothing to do with it", she said.

    Another Armenian citizen-Emma Kirakosyan working at the transport
    company told Hurriyet that there are no problems between Turks and
    Armenians, there are problems between the governments. She also said
    several buses are sent from Istanbul via Turkey.

    "Most drivers are Armenians, they are earning a living. Do not deprive
    them of a loaf of bread", she said.
