    CHP ACTS FOR ARMENIAN MIGRANTS' LIFE STANDARDS

    Hurriyet, Turkey

    ANKARA - Anatolia News Agency

    The Republican People's Party (CHP) yesterday tabled a motion demanding
    a parliamentary investigation to determine and solve the problems of
    Armenian migrants living in Turkey.

    In the justification of the motion, which was submitted to the
    Parliamentary Speaker's Office with the signatures of CHP Istanbul
    deputy Sezgin Tanrıkulu and his colleagues, it was indicated that
    the migrants living in Turkey lived in harsh conditions that could
    result in death.

    The justification also underlined the suicide case of Narine
    Mıkırtciyan, an Armenian woman who moved to Istanbul for economic
    reasons. "We think there are many tragedies resembling the case of
    Narine Mıkırtciyan," it read. The justification also referred to
    Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's remarks in 2010 that, "in Turkey,
    there are about 100,000 Armenians who are not Turkish citizens." "The
    government, which does not abstain from using Armenian migrants as
    a trump card, has to demonstrate a similar skill for reforming their
    living standards," the motion read.
