YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 25, ARMENPRESS. Turkish nationalists are calling for stripping citizenship of the 123 Turkish scholars who issued a statement  last week warning about Azerbaijan’s genocidal policy in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Federation of Eurasian Turkic Associations chairman Ismail Cengiz labeled the Turkish scholars ‘Armenian-loving mankurts,’ according to Once Vatan news outlet.

“The 123 Armenian-loving mankurts must immediately be stripped of citizenship,” Cengiz said in a statement cited by Once Vatan. He said that after doing so the scholars must be sent to Armenia.

In the statement provided to ARMENPRESS on September 22 , the Turkish scholars said that the Azerbaijani regime, which has blockaded Nagorno-Karabakh for nine months, launched military operations in front of the whole world during the UN General Assembly.

“Azerbaijan carried out this attack with explicit support from Turkey and Israel, while the whole world was silently watching what was happening. There is a clear danger of ethnic cleansing and genocide,” the Turkish scholars said in the statement, emphasizing that former ICC chief prosecutor M. Ocampo’s warnings are turning into reality one by one.
