/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey’s Prime Minister made an inadmissible
statement, Armenian top diplomat said.

"Unfortunately, it’s not for the first time Turkish officials threaten
deportation of Armenian immigrants. Similar statements forerun the
Armenian Genocide in 1915 and Armenian pogroms in Sumgait in 1988,"
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said during a news conference in
Yerevan when responding to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter’s question.

"Such statement damage the Armenian-Turkish dialogue. We are hopeful
that Ankara will take a more realistic approach and will give up
the language of blackmail, a non-civilized way to resolve problems,"
the Minister said.

Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday 100 thousand
illegal Armenian immigrants can be deported from the country.

"There are 170 thousand Armenians living in Turkey. 70 thousand of
them are Turkish citizens. If necessary, I will tell the remaining 100
thousand to leave. I can do so because they are not Turkish citizens
and I’m not obliged to keep them in my country," Erdogan said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
