Head of Armenian PACE delegation asks CoE to pressurize Turkey.
Head of the PACE Armenian delegation Davit Harutyunyan sent a letter to Secretary General of the CoE Thorbjorn Jagland and PACE President Mevlut Cavusoglu, as well as Members of PACE National delegations on Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s statements about deportation of illegal Armenian immigrants from the country.
Harutyunyan reminded the statements of PM Erdogan that Turkey turns a blind eye to 100,000 illegal Armenian immigrant who are working in Turkey and said, "These statements raised a wave of criticism even in Turkey. Nevertheless the Prime Minister of Turkey refused to apologize and to correct his mistake claiming only that he was misinterpreted and misunderstood. But later events clearly showed that the Prime Minister continues the same discriminatory approach."
