A Turkish-Armenian member of parliament was temporarily banned from Turkey's National Assembly after he used the term genocide to describe the deaths of Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Empire a century ago, media reported on Saturday.
Garo Paylan, a lawmaker belonging to the pro-minority Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), said during a constitutional reform debate that Armenians had at one time made up 40 percent of the Turkish population and now only constituted one per mille (0.1 percent).
