There is all kind of everything on the signboards of historical
monuments in Western Armenia expect for true information, say members
of the Research on Armenian Architecture NGO. During the trips to
Western Armenia they noticed that the sign at the entrance of Ani tells
the story of the city without a world about its Armenian belonging.
A Turkish signboard was placed at the Palace of Paron in 2004,
which describes it as a Seljuk Palace built in the 12th century by
Seljuk Turks, while, in reality, it was build by Zakarians in the
13th century.
A sign at the entrance to the Kars Fortress tells in Turkish and
English that it was built by the Turkish Sultan in the 12th century.
However, Armenian and foreign historiographers say its history
dates back to the 9th century and it was constructed during Ashot
Bagratuni's rule.
Member of the Research on Armenian Architecture NGO Raffi Kortoshyan
is worried about the fact that the Armenian trace is being erased
now during reconstruction works.
