    ARMENIAN CEMETERY HAS NO CULTURAL VALUE - TURKISH MINISTRY

    Armenian cemetery has no cultural value and Turkey's ministry of
    culture and tourism is not interested whether it is destroyed or not.

    This is the ministry's response received by correspondent of
    Aykiridogrular website, Armenian by origin, Cevat Sinet. The response
    came several months after his publication on destroyed Armenian
    cemetery.

    As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, an Armenian cemetery
    was destroyed in July to build a new road in the Eruh region of the
    country's Siirt (Sghert) Province.

    Until now, however, an Armenian church-which is located within
    the borders of the Kurdish Khert village-was already ruined, and
    its continuation was that, instead of restoring the church, the
    authorities began destroying the Armenian cemetery situated in the
    vicinity of the church.

    And even though the human skeletons are scattered all over the
    area, the persons in charge continue to build roads on the bones
    of Armenians.

    It is not the first case of vandalism against the Armenian graves
    in Turkey. Armenian cemeteries are destroyed to build a school,
    kindergarten, hospital, stadium or road.
