Families Ties: Turkey and Azerbaijan fume over Armenia links with Diaspora

While on a visit to London, England earlier this week Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, among other controversial statements, also claimed in a BBC interview that “Armenia ought to get rid of the mortgage of its Diaspora”. But what the Turkish leader called “mortgage”, in fact, emerged as a result of the Genocide perpetrated against Ottoman Armenians at the beginning of last century.

hahahaha, what mortgage? this is called 'credit' Mr. Erdogan, go look it up in the books....Karabakh Armenians started their liberation campaign and finished it with the help of Armenian citizens(and minor diaspora support), so why did you block the borders with Armenia then? so Karabakh Armenians are also considered mortgage to Armenian citizens? so we have to come to you so you advise us what is good to the Armenian nation? go try something else, all Armenians decide on what is good for them not a Turk denying the Genocide... you are looking silly on tv with these comments...you are a fanatic and you don't want any good for none Turks. That worked in the middle ages but now don't expect any European help if you keep with your mentality, don't forget for Europeans and Americans you are a Muslim middle eastern Turk. The European union has a team mentality, you don't belong in it with your selfish and self-centered mentality...
