Armenian Istanbul Patriarch Mesrob II said there are at least 40.000
Republic of Armenia citizens immigrants who live in Istanbul, Antalya
and Trabzon provinces. Mesrob II also added that some Armenian families
came to Turkey from Lebanon and Iraq to live. Armenian Patrick said
"the Istanbul Armenian Patriarchate may play a leading role of the
children of all these Armenia citizens".

Armenian Turks have their own churches and schools in Turkey.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
