Turkish Radikal newspaper informed in its April 5 issue that Akhtamar
Surb Khach Church is being renovated. Nijazi Taneler, governor
of Van, said about this, emphasizing that the Turkish Tourism
and Culture Ministry allocated 2,4 million Turkish liras for this
aim. Considering this step as an important one against the statements
about the Armenian Genocide, Radikal wrote that this church built
"in 915-921, in the reign of the Armenian king Gagik the 1st" is one
the verge of annihilation.
