YEREVAN (YERKIR) - Turkey uses new methods to destroy Armenian
cultural monuments, Candidate of Historical Sciences Hayk Demoyan told
journalists."If earlier monuments were openly destroyed in Turkey,
the situation has changed drastically lately," the historian notes.
In his words, "restoration works" are held in Ani and in Akhtamar
Island at the moment. Demoyan said that under the pretence of
"restoration" Turkish authorities complete the genocide of Armenian
monuments, that they launched already in 1915 - simultaneous to the
Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey.
"Not only 1.5 million Armenians were destroyed by Turks at the time,
but also thousands of Armenian cultural monuments," the historian said,
