    The St. Thomas monastery of Turkey's historical Armenian province
    Vostan has appeared on the verge of collapse as a result treasure
    hunters' greediness, who have dug holes in different parts of the
    building, Hye Tert reported,

    An art professor of the Yuzuncu Yil university, Mesut Gul, has called
    for giving a proper attention to the Armenian monument.

    The place of worship, which in the 8th century belonged to the noble
    house of Rshtunis and was later transferred to the Artsruni family,
    is now reported to be in a forlorn state.

    The construction, built in the 10th-11th centuries by the Armenian
    historian Thomas Artsruni, has never been registered as a special
    protection sight, reports the Turkish website.
