Skulls and bones, possibly from the Armenian Genocide, protrude from
the soil near a school in the district of Westan in Van, according to
a newspaper report.
The pro-Kurdish Ozgur Gundem reported that in the village of Ili in
the district of Westan (current name GevaÅ?), a mass grave believed to
be from the Armenian genocide has been unearthed during the
construction of the DaÄ?yöre Elementary School last year.
The bones remain there, protruding from the soil, to this day.
Villagers say the mass grave is likely that of the Armenians who lived
in the village a century ago, the Armenian Weekly reports.
The village, Ili (current name DaÄ?yöre), southwest of GevaÅ? (Armenian
name Vosdan), had 21 Armenian households prior to the Armenian
Genocide.
