ASIM-DER demands Armenian immigrants' deportation
17:48 - 05.08.11
The Izmir-based Union against Claims by Armenians (ASIM-DER) demands
that Turkey deport illegal Armenian immigrants, the Ihlas news agency
reports.
ASIM-DER Press Secretary Erhan Hacikasimoglu reported that the
organization addressed a letter to the Turkish Ministry of the
Interior and indicated the need for deporting illegal Armenian
immigrants.
"Armenians illegally living in Turkey are freely moving around our
country, and Armenian tourists stroll where they like without
permission. We, as an NGO, are concerned over the fact that, after
leaving our country, these same Armenians engage in propaganda against
the Turkish nation," he said. "We are well aware that, years ago,
after the murder of Chief Editor of Agos newspaper Hrant Dink,
Armenians illegally living in Turkey were among those chanting the
slogan 'We are all Armenians, we are all Hrant Dink' in Istanbul
streets. The Armenians illegally living in our country under the
sponsorship of wealthy Armenian businessmen, with their number
increasing day by day, must be deported from Turkey. We, citizens of
Turkey, are concerned over Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's
anti-Turkish statements made on every occasion, as well as over the
increasing number of Armenians illegally living in Turkey,"
Hacikasimoglu said.
It is not for the first time that threats to deport Armenians have
been issued in Turkey. In an interview with the BBC Turkish service
last year, Turkish Premier Recep Erdogan issued similar threats.
