16:45 25.07.2014
Armenian inscriptions have been added to the signboards placed in the
streets of the city of Artamed (Edremit) in Van Province in Turkey,
eremenihaber.com reports.
The initiative aims to stop hostile perceptions of Armenians and
create sympathy towards them, said Mayor of Artamed Sevil Rojbin
Cetin, member of the Party of Democratic Regions.
"The Kurdish people have historical-cultural similarities with the
Armenian people. Van and Artamed were densely populated by Armenians
before 1915. The Kurds and Armenians have lived side by side in Van
for centuries. Therefore, we'll not allow the state to erase the
Armenian history and destroy the Armenian culture. We have made this
step as a sign of respect for Armenians," the Mayor told Haber 7
website.
