Erdogan: our goal is to develop unity and solidarity through normalization of relations
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said Turkey propagandizing the idea of peace, justice, stability and glory, highlights equal attitude towards its citizens.
"Our goal is to develop unity and solidarity and strengthen the atmosphere of trust through normalization of relations," he said during a meeting with cinema and theater actors, film directors and producers.
Earlier, Erdogan threatened to deport illegal Armenian migrants from Turkey. "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," he said.
The fierce reaction of the Turkish PM came after the adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution, H.Res.252, by the US House Foreign Affairs Committee on March 4 and passage of a resolution recognizing the Genocide of Armenians, Assyrians/Syrians/Chaldeans and Pontic Greeks by the Swedish parliament on March 11.
