Middle East Focus: Proof that Turkey is in the Middle East………….

Proof that Turkey is in the Middle East………….

“Turkey's prime minister has threatened to deport 100,000 Armenian migrants, amid renewed tensions over Turkish mass killings of Armenians in World War I. Recent resolutions in the US and Sweden have called the killings "genocide". Recep Tayyip Erdogan told the BBC that of 170,000 Armenians living in Turkey "70,000 are Turkish citizens". "We are turning a blind eye to the remaining 100,000... Tomorrow, I may tell these 100,000 to go back to their country, if it becomes necessary." Thousands of Armenians, many of them women, work illegally in Turkey. Most do low-skilled jobs such as cleaning…………”

If there was any proof needed that Turks are really Middle Easterners, this foolish statement and arbitrary threat by Erdogan is it!
Middle East oligarchs tend to expel natives of other countries when they don’t get along with their governments. Sometimes they expel their own natives, as Saddam Hussein did in Iraq.
