Gagik Yeganyan, head of migration and refugees department of Armenia,
said Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan and Foreign Minister Abdullah
Giul have again told a lie. The minister reportedly announced a year
ago that there are 40,000 Armenians in Turkey.

Concurrently, Turkey said she will deport 70,000 Armenians, illegally
working in Turkey, in case France adopts a law punishing denial of
the Armenian genocide.

Yeganyan made a little survey to correct the number of Armenians
working in Turkey. In his words, if Giul’s words were correct that
40,000 could not be added by another 30,000 in one year.

Yeganyan beleives there are not more than 10,000 citizens in Armenia
working in Turkey which is far from Erdogan’s stated 70,000.

Similarly, Azerbaijan earlier reported they have 600,000 refugees
and this number gradually reached 1 million.
