    ARMENIAN DIASPORA TAKES AIM AT TURKISH ECONOMY

    World Bulletin, Turkey
    March 2 2015

    With Armenians preparing for the 100th year of the killings, the
    diaspora is now taking aim at Turkeys investments, putting pressure
    on American business to withdraw their investments from Turkey

    World Bulletin / News Desk

    With America at the head the political pressure to recognise the
    Armenian genocide has now pushed forward with trying to cut in front
    of the national investments made by Turkey.

    In an article in the Sabah paper, the Armenian diaspora has launched
    a new campaign called DivestTurkey which effectively means "pull your
    investments from Turkey", encouraging foreign foundations to withdraw
    their funds from Turkey.

    The Armenian Youth Federation which initiated the campaign has billions
    of dollars of funds and has launched the Quit Turkey campagin. Among
    the most noted contributors is the state of California.

    The Diaspora is pushing pressure on the University of
    California-Berkley, one of the most well known educational institutions
    in America and organised a senate meeting there on February 18 with
    the Graduate Students Association at UCLA to discuss the annual $74
    million investment made in Turkey.

    A unanimous vote by the students saw the withdrawal of their
    investments and funds in Turkey.
