| Armenian migrants in Turkey wary of political tensions |
|
| By Ayla Jean Yackley ISTANBUL (Reuters) - A century after her forebears fled massacres in Turkey for Armenia, Alla has gone the other way, hoping to win Turkish citizenship after leaving her impoverished homeland. The conflict dates back to the killings of up to 1.5 million Christian Armenians by Ottoman Muslims that were being commemorated on Sunday, with tensions between Armenia and its Turkey-backed neighbour, Azerbaijan, especially amplified this year. "We live in fear they (the Turkish authorities) can kick us out if something happens," said Alla, who declined having her full name published because of her illegal status in Turkey. |
