The house of ethnic Armenian millionaire, philanthropist Galust
Gyulbenkyan was sold in Turkey's Kayseri town. The new owner of the
house, Negip Dincer, is going to turn it into a boutique-hotel.
According to Turkish Sabah daily, the reconstruction of the building
will launch as soon as the Cultural Values Conservation Foundation
gives permission.
Architect Gevorg Ozkaraguz, representative of the Armenian community,
said he is pleased with the decision as the historic appearance of
the building will be preserved.
"Tens of mansions were destroyed in the region. This project will
make the building stand. It is a historic achievement," he said.
The attic of the building built in 1800 has completely collapsed. "The
mansion has been sold for already several times. I have bought it
from an Istanbul-based doctor," the new owner of the building said.
He promised to preserve the initial appearance during the
reconstruction. He said the reconstruction will cost 900 thousand
Turkish lira. The new owner also promised that the building's name
"Gyulbenkyan" will be maintained.
