12:28 - 06.05.11
The Turkish government's decision to renovate Ani has come too late
and is just a small part of that country's obligations, says Kiro
Manoyan, the director of the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation-Dashmaksutyun (ARF-D) Bureau's Office of Hay Dat and
Political Affairs.
The Turkish Ministry of Culture and the World Monuments Fund have
signed an agreement on taking joint measures towards the restoration
of the historical Armenian town.
"Under the 1923 Treaty of Lausane, Turkey was committed to maintain
the places of worship belonging to religious minorities. The decision
to renovate the temples in Ani and other religious monuments is only a
part of the country long overdue commitments," Manoyan said commenting
on the decision.
