    Turkey's Ministry of Internal Affairs opened an inquiry against Mayor
    Abdullah Demirbas of Diyarbakir Province's Sur city, for posting road
    signs which read `Welcome' in several languages.

    Demirbas harshly reacted to the launching of this investigation and
    stressed that this is a setback for peace, democracy, friendship and
    liberty, Radikal daily of Turkey informs.

    Also, the Diyarbakir Provincial Hall recently opened an inquest
    against Abdullah Demirbas for launching three-month Armenian-language
    courses.

    To note, the Mayor of Sur had also published several Armenian tales in
    Turkish and Armenian. Demirbas also launched the Armenian-language
    tourist guide for Diyarbakir. And the signs placed on the roads
    entering Sur include `Welcome' in Armenian.
