The municipality of the Turkish city Diyarbakir made another goodwill
gesture towards the Armenians living in the city. The city banners
mention the city by its former Armenian name Tigranakert.
The Facebook photo posted by Armen Demirchyan - one of the Armenians
living in the city - depicts him standing by a banner with Armenian
and Kurdish inscriptions on it.
"I love Tigranakert and I don't pollute it," the banner reads in
Western Armenia. The Kurdish inscription mentions the city's old name
Amed, which is currently widely used by Kurds.
Armen Demirchyan is one of the few Armenians in Diyarbakir who has
openly confessed about his descent. In 2014 he visited Armenia's
capital Yerevan with a group of his fellow-countrymen.
