During his visit to Mush,, Eastern Armenia, Turkish Minister of
Transport and Communication Binali Yildirim stated no one has the
right to dream of Turkish territories. He threatened to gouge the
eye of all those laying such claims.
The Turkish Vatan newspaper quoted the Minister as saying: "When
Turkey quarreled with its neighbors it had no friend. But now we have
normalized relations with Syria, started military cooperation with
Iraq, development of relations with Iran and Russia, as well as with
Armenia. The Armenian community, however, is laying claims to Turkish
territories. We are not going to harm anyone, but we will gouge the
eye set on our lands."
Minister Yildirim addressed his statements not only to Armenians, but
also to Kurds, as Kurds constitute a majority in Mush. Although Mush
is an ancient Armenian city, Kurds made it part of "Kurdistan." One
of the high-ranking officials in the province of Mush recently stated
that eastern regions of Turkey densely populated by Kurds are part of
"Kurdistan"

by Gevorg Chaush defeated Turkish janizaries near the Sulukhi bridge
in Mush.
