/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Prime Minister should be ashamed of himself
for making statements about the eviction of 100 000 illegal Armenian
immigrants from Turkey, director of Oriental Studies Institute at RA
NAS, professor Ruben Safrastyan said.

"By making such statements, Turkey, the successor of Ottoman
Empire, the Armenian Genocide perpetrator, confirms that no changes
occurred over the last 100 years. Despite the fact that Genocide
was acknowledged by scientific and historical centers of authority
worldwide, Turkey continues with its policy of Genocide denial,"
the professor told PanARMENIAN.Net.

At the same time he noted that 100 000 illegal Armenian immigrants
in Turkey is not a real figure. "Numerous researches conducted show
the actual number of illegal Armenian immigrants in Turkey does not
exceed 15 000," prof. Safrastyan emphasized.
