Whether to post it here, or in "Jokes & Humor"... THAT is the question!
From Turkish Weekly (duuuh ):
Okay, I know Yerevan was part of the Persian Empire some 400 years ago... but was it ever Turkish ? NO....
83% of its population was Turkish during the 19th century? As far as I know, Yerevan was never part of the Ottoman Empire and always had a predominantly Armenian population.
Ohhh and here comes the best part... "More than 1 million Turkish people became refugees after the Karabakh Occupation" WHAT? Karabagh had a pre-war population of approximately 200,000 people, 75% of whom were Armenian... So where did the 1 million come from?
Who knows... we can even end up compensating Yerevan for the "Turkish genocide". Mwahahaha
From Turkish Weekly (duuuh ):
'All Turkish and Muslim Monuments Destroyed in Yerevan’
Dr. Erol Kurkcuoglu from Erzurum Ataturk University said that the Armenians had destroyed the Turkish and Muslim heritage in Armenia. “Once Yerevan was a Turkish city” Kurkcuoglu added.
Kurkcuoglu said “the name of the city was Revan until the 19th century. Gok, Kopru Kulagi, Tepebasi Mescits and Serdar Castle were destroyed by the Armenians. They destroyed all Turkish and Muslim traces in Armenia. 83 percent of Yerevan was Turkish during the 19th century, however the share decreased to 4.3 after the First World War”.
There is almost no Muslim or Turkish population in Armenia right now. More than 1 million Turkish people became refugee after the Karabakh Occupation. 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories have been under Armenian population for a decade.
