Armenios en Turquía
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
Armenios en Turquía (Plantilla:Lang-tr; Plantilla:Lang-hy, the latter meaning Istanbul-Armenian) have an estimated population of 40,000 (1995) to 70,000.[1] Most are concentrated in and around İstanbul. During the Ottoman Empire just like the Greeks and Jews, they are bankers and merchants with extensive international contacts. The Armenians support their own newspapers and schools. They belong to the Armenian Apostolic faith and though they are Turkish citizens, they are solely identified as Armenians rather than Turks by the Turkish society and Turkish state. Discrimination by the Turkish state in all levels, verbal and sometimes physical attacks as well as Armenia's war with Turkic Azerbaijan, combined with the jingoistic support of Azerbaijan in the Turkish media during the Nagorno-Karabakh War, has raised apprehensions among the Armenian minority about their future status in Turkey. The assassination of the Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink has caused a deep trauma and fear among the Armenian minority.
