    YEREVAN, JULY 28, ARMENPRESS: They do not stop in Turkey to eliminate
    Armenian historical-cultural monuments in Turkey one after another.
    Armenpress reports calling Turkish Haberler.com that Armenian Church
    in Azizie district of Erzrum is used by Turks as a stable.

    About the poor condition of the Church warned local citizens. The
    church which is ignored by Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey
    has also greatly suffered and damaged in result of adventure of
    treasure seekers.

    The internal walls of the church which was built in the 17th century
    are covered by frescos.

    Armenian monasteries functioning there. Less than 100 remain standing
