    TRABZON. - Hasim Kantekin, 78, guards St. Amenaprkich Armenian Church
    (built in 1424) in Trabzon, Turkey.

    Hasim Kantekin told Anadolu agency that the church is located on his
    territory which he has inherited from his father. The old man informed
    that he does not keep anything in the church.

    He said that he has done everything to preserve the church, or else
    it would have fallen down years ago.

    "Anyone who wants to visit the church, takes the keys from me and
    enters it," he said.
