    ARMENIAN TEMPLE TO BE BUILD IN KAMENETS-PODOLSKY


    05.07.2005 03:01

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ It was decided to establish the historical justice in
    Kamenets-Podolsky. A location where there was once an old Armenian cathedral
    demolished by the Soviet authorities was given to the Armenian community for
    building the temple. Armenians say the bridge and the canyon at the entry of
    the Old City in Kamenets-Podolsky are very similar to their fatherland.
    Armen Khachatryan, the Armenian Ambassador to Ukraine said, «There are arcs
    though and the bridge is more beautiful, however the landscape is like the
    Kiiv bridge and the gorge in Yerevan.» Six centuries ago Armenians built
    Kamenets-Podolsky equally with Ukrainians and Poles. Thus they also have
    their emblem on the city arms. Now there is a Khachkar - a stone cross in
    the city. It is erected in the location where a temple will be built. The
    Khachkar also commemorates the victims of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman
    Turkey in 1915, reported Novy Kanal.
