If official Yerevan politicized the events regarding St. Cross Church
of Akhtamar, Turkey would reach its goal, Armenian Republican Party
(ARP) MP Hovhannes Sahakyan told reporters today. According to him,
both the reconstruction of the church and the liturgy to be held
there is merely a Turkish show.
He thinks that the local Armenian clergymen should also refuse to
participate in the ceremony providing the Turkish leadership fails
to place a cross atop the church.
The Republican deputy urged everyone not to attend the ceremony and
assured that no Republicans are intent to participate in the "show."
