News-NEWS.am reports quoting PR department of Diyarbakir city hall.
"Armenians, Yezidi and Assyrian people have as much right as me to
live on those lands. Diyarbakir is a city of all ethnic identities
and religions. Armenians suffered great pains in 1914s and were forced
to leave the city. After they left, we became poor, but we were rich
when together. This is not only my viewpoint, but the majority of
city residents share my point of view," the Kurd mayor stated.
The Mayor expects Armenians in October on the reopening ceremony of
St Kirakos Church in Diyarbakir.
