    Armenian church ravaged in eastern Turkey


    24 August 2012 / TODAYSZAMAN.COM,

    An İstanbul-based association representing Armenians living in Sason
    district of eastern Turkish province of Batman has claimed that their
    church near the Puşeng village has been partially torn apart by
    unidentified people.

    Head of the Sason Armenians Social Assisstance, Solidarity and
    Cultural Association Aziz Dağcı said he is appealing to Sason Public
    Prosecutor's Office over the incident, demanding an investigation,
    Armenian weekly Agos reported.

    Dağcı said local Armenians don't know why their church was ravaged,
    recalling recent mass they held last month. Dağcı said villagers
    notified them that Armenian church Partsr Asdvadzadzin in Maratug
    mountain was ravaged by some people with diggers and shovels.
