YEREVAN (Armenpress) ”” Dersim Armenian Mihran Gultekin Savior believes that Turkey’s policies have not changed as it continues expelling Armenians and Kurds to replace them with Turkmens living abroad.
Savior, who returned to his Armenians roots years ago, told Armenpress journalists the following. “Today Kurds and Turks fight in Turkey, but Armenians are always under focus. Under those conditions hidden Armenians try to keep their real identity more covert. The Turkish state regularly tries to speculate the Armenian factor in this struggle. In fact, Armenians are always to blame,”
