"It is just a step by Turkey to mislead the world. In this way Turkey
doesn't demonstrate tolerance and Turkey's attempts to serve a holy
liturgy in Sourb Khach (St. Cross) Church of Akhtamar without placing a
cross atop the church are unacceptable both for the Armenian Apostolic
Church and the Armenian people, in general," NA Republican (ARP)
MP Gagik Meliqyan told Panorama.am, commenting on the developments
over the Sourb Khach holy mass.
Note that Turkish PM Erdogan said at a joint press conference with
Azerbaijan's President the permission to serve a holy mass in Sourb
Khach Church is demonstration of tolerance from the Turkish side.
Commenting on Panorama.am enquiry as to what Turkey seeks by permitting
the Sourb Khach holy liturgy, the MP said: "This is just one of
Turkey's far-fetched goals to show that it is a democratic country,
what, however, it doesn't succeed in since one cannot build democracy
or become tolerant through half-steps."
