/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Economist assures that 40 thousand Armenian
migrants live in Turkey at the moment. Unlike migrants from other
states Armenians are not oppressed in Turkey, the edition says adding
that the number of Turks of Armenian origin makes 80 thousand. The
Economist also quotes American art worker of Armenian origin Kartash
Onik, who returned from a festival organized in Kars not long ago. "I
never fancied that Armenian songs in performance of an Armenian singer
can receive such a warm feedback. I was surrounded by Turks, who danced
Armenian dances. My eyes filled with tears," he said, reports RFE/RL.
