World: Turkey’s PM tries to remind Armenians who’s the boss

170,000 the number of Armenians currently living in Turkey
100,000 Armenians could be forced out for living there illegally

» Why them, why now? It’s a purely political statement by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey’s upset that the U.S. and Swedish governments are pushing to label the atrocities Turks enacted on Armenians during World War I as genocide. The two countries have a fragile diplomacy going on, and while Turkey has let the Armenians peacefully live in Turkey, it’s something that could be taken away. source
