ARMENIAN CEMETERY DESTROYED IN TURKEY'S TEKIRDAŠ MALKARA
11:59 * 11.07.13
An Armenian cemetery has been destroyed in Tekirdaš Malkara, Turkey.
A bakehouse has been built in the area, Radikal reports.
Demir Ali Pala, Head of the local chapter of the Justice and
Development party, wants hard drinks to be served there as well.
As of September 1, 1976, the area 1.5km of Malkara was registered as a
cemetery. Tombstones have been ruined over the years.
"Our roasted meat is known. There is no cemetery here. It was here 300
years ago," Demir Ali Pala said.
The construction work brings human bones up to the surface.
"The construction was launched a month ago... There were large
tombstones here 15 years ago, and archeologists arrived," an unnamed
couple said.
