Ruben Safrasyan: Turkish authorities seek to turn Armenians into hostages

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Prime Minister's repeated statements on possible deportation of 100 000 illegal Armenian migrants from Turkey are shameful, director of Oriental Studies Institute at RA NAS, professor Ruben Safrastyan said.



"It's a shame for a representative of the government, which falsifies history, to make such statements. In fact, Turkish authorities attempt to use our compatriots as hostages," prof. Safrastyan told a news conference in Yerevan, noting that international community is also opposed to the policy pursued by Turkey.
