If there was an "Armenian Genocide" why are the Armenians flocking to Turkey?

State figures show there are about 80, 000 Armenian Population living in Istanbul alone. Many of them were born there, Their grand parents lived in Istanbul all their lives ... They have been there for generations. I ask you, if there was a genocide back in 1915... what are all those Armenians doing in Istanbul? I dont understand? We all know what constitutes the frivolous act of Genocide... so why are they there? How many illegal Armenians cross the border or enter into Turkey every year via other means? Do they do this becuase they want to live in a country who Allegedly tried to commit Genocide against their kin?
According to "The Economist" 40 000 Armenians have ilegally settled in Turkey in recent years. They claim Marina Martossian, is just one they caught up with, and has been living in Istanbul for the last 5 months is employed as a janitor, has friends in a similar situation. Marina claims she is very happy with her new life in Istanbul and she is earning circa 300 sterling a month. (Money she could not dream of in poverish Armenia!) When asked what she thought of her new Turkish employer.. "One of the most generous people I have ever met" is the answer.

Warsaw - APA. “Turkey-Armenia relations are not the relations not connected with any factor. There are issues connected with the region. It is impossible to ignore them.The problem between Azerbaijan and Armenia has an impact on us, too,” Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said during his meeting with students in Warsaw, APA reports quoting Turkish media. He said the main demand of Turkey from Armenia was the withdrawal of troops from the occupied Azerbaijani territories, including Nagorno Karabakh.“We have not passed this decision, the UN passed the decision. Turkey closed the borders with Armenia because of the occupation. There is cause and consequence. The borders will be opened, when the consequence is eliminated,” he said.Erdogan mentioned that 40,000 Armenians were living and working illegally in Turkey.“Why have they come to our country? Because there is great poverty in Armenia. They are trying to earn their living in our country. We will send them back, if necessary, but we do not do it because of humaneness,” he said.
