This has led the authorities and much of the population in Turkey to support policies hostile to Armenians.>> Inside the country, Armenians suffer discrimination and continue to be under special surveillance, in spite of their small number- 60 000 individuals in a country of 65 million. >> Turkey has blockaded, and refuses to establish diplomatic relations with neighbouring Armenia since 1993. >> Turkey also conducts overt hate campaigns against Armenians in Europe, some of which involved the use of the international media, of Turkish language media in Europe, and of locally elected Turkish politicians.
