    Armenian church located in Turkish military area to be relocated

    December 07, 2013 | 00:22


    At the Turkish National Defense Minister's order, the Armenian church,
    which is located at a military area in Sivas Province of Turkey, will
    be moved to another area and opened for visitors.

    The Armenian Friends of Sivas Union members had petitioned to Turkish
    National Defense Minister Ismet Yilmaz, and stressed that the church
    had remained in a military area and they are unable to visit it,
    Spothaber website of Turkey reports.

    The minister gave them a positive response and ordered that the church
    be moved from the military area and be restored.

    Sivas Deputy Governor Salih Ayhan confirmed the aforesaid order, and
    noted that the projects toward the relocation and restoration of the
    church are being worked on.

    But to the query as to in what status the church doors will be opened
    after restoration, Ayhan stressed that the Turkish authorities will
    determine this.
