Church in Turkey's Diyarbakir, and concerning the return of the city's
190 pieces of real estate that once belonged to the Armenians, the
Diyarbakir Foundations' Department reached a positive decision on
seventeen such real estates.
In line with the church register, from 1910 to 1921, a total of 190
pieces of real estate in Diyarbakir's twenty districts belonged to
the Armenians, Ozgurhabergazetesi website of Turkey reports.
As a result of the studies that were conducted, seventeen pieces of
real estate-with an area of 15,000 square meters-, which belonged
to the Armenians, was discovered in the Sehitlik Koskler district of
Diyarbakir. But difficulties arose in connection with the return of
these areas, since there are illegal structures and public buildings
in these areas.
Foundation chairman Vartkes Ergun Ayik noted that there are
difficulties in connection with transferring these real estates in the
names of Armenians. He stressed, however, that if these real estates
are not returned with the conventional process, they will appeal to
the court.
