    "Union of Social Solidarity and Culture of Sasun Armenians" intends to
    appeal to the European Court of Human Rights to challenge the denial
    to create a fund in Turkey.

    Chairman of the Union, Aziz Dagcin said they had been struggling
    for several years to make their union into a fund, Firat news agency
    reports.

    He recalled six founders of the union appealed to the civil court of
    Istanbul two years ago requesting for a permission to open a fund,
    but the claim was rejected. Istanbul Armenians' request was also
    rejected by the Court of Cassation and then they decided to appeal
    to the European Court of Human Rights.

    The union, which includes Armenians living in the provinces of Bitlis,
    Van and Mush, intends to restore ethnic, cultural, linguistic and
    religious identity of Armenians.
