Turkey's PM has begun a tentative rapprochement with ArmeniaTurkey'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.
so Erdogan (who thinks that Jews in his country are parasites) objects to talking about how the Islamic Turks murdered over 1.5 million Armenian Christians less than 90 years ago, and then says he could kick out 100,000 Christians now because of their faith and country of their birth. While claiming his country's innocence of genocide, Erdogan has no problem laying the charges of genocide at the door of Israel for killing around 1,000 terrorists in defensive maneuver against rocket fire.
