  • Group Protests "Removal" of Turkish Flag in Back of Cesaria Church

    A GROUP OF PEOPLE PROTESTS AS IF TURKISH FLAG PLACED IN BACK OF CESARIA
    CHURCH IS TAKEN OUT


    CESARIA, OCTOBER 27, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. About 90 pilgrims
    of Yeshilgyugh headed by deacon Vahram Lyulechian went to the Saint
    Gregory the Illuminator church of Cesaria to celebrate there liturgy
    headed by priest Andreas Hakobian, the spiritual pastor of Yeshilgyugh.

    During the saint liturgy, a group people of about 80 gathered at the
    church door and made noise as if the flag placed in the back of the
    church was taken out. Ones responsible for the church explained that
    there is nothing like that, and the Turkish flag has always been
    placed only in the front of the church. The local security forces
    interfered after a unpleasant argument and prevented straining of the
    situation. However, the liturgy was not stopped. At the end, the
    group of pilgrims, accompanied by the security employees, was led
    towards Talas and neighbouring villages, from where it went to
    Istanbul.
