Turks tried cause clash between Armenians
September 19, 2010 | 10:18
The decision not to install a cross on Surb Khach church gave rise to
interesting opinions among Van residents.
A NEWS.am correspondent conducted a poll to find out that most Van
citizens believe the Turkish authorities' decision was aimed driving a
wedge between Armenians in Istanbul and Armenia.
Many of them think the Turkish authorities succeeded, as Istanbul
Armenians are considered traitors in Armenia, whereas Istanbul
Armenians feel offended because Armenians in Armenia are discrediting
them among Armenians. Some of the Istanbul Armenians that arrived in
Van noted Istanbul Armenians are also divided over participating in
the liturgy without a cross on the church.
Few of the Istanbul Armenians that arrived to take part in the liturgy
seem to prove this. Only one or two percent of Istanbul Armenians
arrived to take part in the liturgy in Surb Khach church in Akhtamar.
