June 4, 2011 - 16:34 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Cheese and honey monument will be erected instead of
the Monument to Humanity, the symbol of Turkish-Armenian friendship in
Kars province of Turkey. Visiting Kars on January 8, Turkish Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan reportedly described the monument as a
`monstrosity' that overshadows a nearby Islamic shrine.
As the head of the local municipality Nevzat Bozkus said, Kars is
known as a manufacturer of cheese and honey which may greatly
contribute to the popularization of the province, APA reported, citing
Haberturk. `After the cost of the monument is assessed, a construction
tender will be announced,' he said.
