Igdir Mayor Aras: Turks Forced To Evacuate Their Homes And Land In
Yerevan Will Be Determined Soon

IGDIR – Igdir Mayor Nurettin Aras has indicated that his office has
started working on finding out the Turks that were forced to evacuate
their homes and land in Yerevan during the First World War and the
1930s.

”Some of the Turks moved to Igdir. We are now closely working with
local administrations in Igdir to find out the names and number of
Turks who were forced to evacuate their homes in Yerevan,” said
Aras.

Aras added that the Armenians massacred hundreds of Turks. ”We will
firstly find out which Turks were forced to flee Yerevan. Once we
know the names of Turks forced to leave Yerevan, we will be filing
legal action against the Armenians,” told Aras.
