15:51 â~@¢ 20.10.14
A Turkish journalist has called for keeping the Armenian Genocide
issue on the agenda ahead of the 2015 centennial of the big tragedy.
In an article published in the Star, Recep Guvelioglu recommends
focusing attention on the Armenian employment migrants in Turkey and
the reconstruction of the ancient historical city of Ani.
"Ani is the center of our belief. And it is of importance for us too.
Ravaged for many years, Ani is on the border of Armenia.
"As well as the [Holy Cross Church] of Akhtamar, Ani too, must
be reconstructed within a short period with the involvement of
international consultants and foreign development companies.
"After the revival of its constructions, this town must be open for
Armenians, and they must not be required to have a visa or passport
to enter here to see their spiritual values," he says.
