17-CENTURY BIBLE TO BE EXHIBITED IN DIYARBEKIR ST. GIRAGOS CHURCH
- September 4, 2013
ARMENPRESS: The 17-century Bible will be exhibited in the Armenian
Saint Giragos Church of Diyarbekir, donated by the famous Turkish
writer of Armenian decent Mkrtich Markosyan. As reported by Armenpress,
the writer stated to the Agos Newspaper that he found the Bible 12
years ago in a stack of papers at the toilet of the abandoned Saint
Giragos Church.
According to Mkrtich Markosyan, the Bible was published in 1960
at the Venice's San Lazzaro Temple. "I kept it very carefully. And
now, when I found out that an Armenian Museum is being opened at the
Saint Giragos Church of Diyarbekir, I decided to donate the Bible to
the museum. The most important thing is that it has survived and is
returning home", - said the Armenian writer.
A section of the Armenian Saint Giragos Church in Turkey's Diyarbekir
will be turned into a museum, where items belonging to Armenians will
be displayed.
