This makes me so angry that I think I'm going to do my damndest to avoid thinking about this while I'm here.  If they actually do deport them, I'm leaving and probably never coming back.

Now I kind of feel bad about rubbing it in.   :Embarrass:

If we expel all the Armenians off the board, can we get the same deal?

Not like Erdooan.  The cunt responds to threats to recognize the Genocide of the Armenians (carried out under the false pretence of deporting Armenians) by threatening to deport Armenians.  Even if I think the diaspora's role in this has been catastrophic, Erdooan went out of his way to be as incredibly insulting as possible.

I'm not Armenian.  My background is as English as sodomy on a ship.

He'e just a politician, and one facing election soon.  Simple as that.  Your mistake was thinking that he might be something else.

Erdogan played nice when he needed to shore up his international cred and appear non-threatening to the domestic liberals and their press organs.  Now that the generals are on the run he doesn't need to pretend anymore.

All that happened is that secular wannabe authoritarians got replaced with religious wannabe authoritarians.

Spellus has been there for like a month and he's already annoyed enough people with his Armenian obsession that the country is planning on expelling them. now that's a talent.

Is there any reason that he wouldn't want to be insulting?  These people are his enemies, after all.

I thought Spellus said he was 1/4 Armenian awhile back.
