Turkey Repairs Armenian Church and Operates as Museum
Submitted by Armen Hareyan on 2010-09-19
Turkey does not allow the cross atop the Armenian Church in the
Eastern Province of Van for political reasons, many believe.
According to Panorama "Preparation works for holy liturgy to be served
in Sourb Khach Church (Saint Cross) of Akhtamar Island, Lake Van,
eastern Turkey, are over. According to Turkish Son Dakika, Van's
Governor Myunil Karaloglu said the cross of the church will be
restored one and a half months after the mass as he visited the church
to check whether or not it was ready for the mass."
The opponents of this view say this is a pretext for Turkey. It had
restored the church few years ago and had plenty of time to put the
cross on the top of the dome of the Holy Cross Armenian Church in
Akhtamar Island.
