    Turkish FM: 40,000 Armenians Work in Istanbul

    Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul says 40,000 Armenians from
    Armenia live and works in Istanbul, Turkish city. Gul gives an
    interview to Turkish daily Hurriyet.

    `Most of these Armenians work for technical companies. An NGO made a
    research on these people and says these people's relations with Turks
    are perfect. Interestingly the Armenian workers in Istanbul has no
    very close relations with Turkish Armenians" Gul added.

    Apart from Istanbul thousands of Armenians work in Turkish
    cities. Turkey has no diplomatic relations with Armenia, however there
    is an air link between Turkey and Armenia and Armenian citizens has no
    problem in visiting Turkey.

    Armenia does not recognise Turkey's national borders and call Eastern
    Turkey 'Western Armenia'. Armenian forces still occupy 20 percent of
    Azerbaijani territories. Armenia also has problems with neigbouring
    Georgia.
