Turkish press is shocked by the statement published in popular Taraf
daily, signed by 14 readers to withstand PM Erdogan’s statement to
expel Armenians from Turkey, Haberciniz reported.

The statement recognizes the Armenian Genocide and strongly condemns
the Turkish people.

Joint statement of 14 readers published in Taraf reads, "Armenians
were massacred in Ottoman Empire in 1915 and conscience does not
allow us to deny it. We condemn that injustice and share pain of
our Armenian brothers. We protest against Erdogan’s intention to use
needy Armenians as hostages and consider his statement immoral."
