Head of Research on Armenian Architecture NGO Samvel Karapetyan said
that despite statements of Kurds, in reality, Armenian poet Yeghishe
Charents' house does not exist in Kars any longer.
In their statements, Kurds mention a district, where allegedly
Charents' house is located, however, there is not such a district in
Kars, Karapetyan told a press conference in Yerevan.
According to him, it is just another way for earning money by Kurds.
Karapetyan said that during his visit to Kars in 2000, Kurds showed
him a half-ruined house, saying that it is Charents' house.
"Recently, I was in Kars again, this time Kurds showed another house,
again insisting that it is Charents' house," noted Karapetyan.
Turkish media published information that the half-ruined house in
Kars, where, according to statements of Kurds, great Armenian poet
Yeghishe Charents was born, is put up for sale. The house is estimated
at $180,000.
