YEREVAN. - In his video blog, monument specialist Samvel Karapetyan,
who is the chairman of the foundation that studies Armenian
architecture, spoke about an event that occurred seven or eight years
ago, when Armenia, as a goodwill gesture, returned to Germany a part
of the German literature which the ex-USSR had looted in the years of
the Second World War.
As per Karapetyan, it is noteworthy, however, that all through this
time no one thought about the Armenian literature which Turkey's ally
Germany had looted at the turn of the 20th century.
`The Turks were a blunt instrument, whereas the German officers were
looting the [Armenian] monastery libraries and the manuscript
libraries. That is why today there are Armenian manuscripts even in
the library of the most remote borough of Germany. Let's return the
looted items to one another!', the monument specialist said.
