    Turkish Culture Minister Ertugrul Gunay visited Holy Cross Church
    in Akhtamar island in the framework of Van 2033: City of the World
    conference on tourism development, Dogan News reported.

    The Minister said Turkey "respects each religion, what could be proved
    by opening of the Armenian church for a liturgy in September."

    However, he said that there will be no bells in the church.

    "Holy Cross is a museum and is not meant for religious ceremonies.

    Let's not discuss this," Gunay said.
