RFI SPECIAL REPORTER HEADS TOWARDS WESTERN ARMENIA TO PRESENT CURRENT STATE OF ARMENIAN HERITAGE
19:53, 21 April, 2015
PARIS, 21 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. A special reporter for Radio France
International (RFI) has headed towards eastern Turkey to find out
what happened to the Armenian churches and tombstones, how the people
already referred to as "incognito Armenians" are living and what is
going on the Armenian-Turkish border that has been closed for the
past 20 years now. As "Armenpress" reports, RFI particularly wrote
the following: "April 24, 2015 will mark the 100th anniversary of
the Armenian Genocide perpetrated in the Ottoman Empire. Between
the years of 1915 and 1923, 1.5 million Armenians were annihilated
in the territory of modern-day Turkey. Those mass killings became
one of the most dangerous crimes of the 20th century. To this day,
the Turkish government refuses to acknowledge the genocide."
The French radio's special report has already been to Bitlis, Van and
Diyarbakir and has prepared several reports providing wide coverage
of the current issues facing the local Armenians, as well as the
stories about and current state of Armenian cultural heritage.
