The Economist: 40 Thousand Armenian Migrants Live in Turkey
The Economist assures that 40 thousand Armenian migrants live in Turkey at the moment. Unlike migrants from other states Armenians are not oppressed in Turkey, the edition says adding that the number of Turks of Armenian origin makes 80 thousand. The Economist also quotes American art worker of Armenian origin Kartash Onik, who returned from a festival organized in Kars not long ago. "I never fancied that Armenian songs in performance of an Armenian singer can receive such a warm feedback. I was surrounded by Turks, who danced Armenian dances. My eyes filled with tears," he said, reports RFE/RL.
