At the March 23 meeting with journalists in Yerevan, leader of Turkish
Liberal Democratic Party, stated he had not read any article in
Turkey that would welcome Premier Erdogan’s statement about possible
deportation of 100.000 illegal Armenians.

According to him, even the Turkish pro-governmental media were
critical of Erdogan’s statement. Toker voiced confidence that, if
the Government really decided to deport Armenians, Turkish society
would be the first to oppose the initiative.

Earlier, Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to expel
Armenians illegally working in Turkey. However, after harsh criticism
inside Turkey as well, Erdogan tried to justify himself, saying he
merely wanted to emphasize a good attitude towards neighbors enabling
Armenian citizens to work in Turkey.
