    EURASIANET.ORG SPREADS MISINFORMATION ABOUT THE ARMENIAN CHURCH IN NAKHICHEVAN

    14:47, 28 November, 2012

    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian church built in the 19th
    century in Nakhichevan has not been merely turned into a cattle shed,
    but also was introduced as an "Albanian sacred place." The Chairman
    of a fund studying Armenian architecture Samvel Karapetyan referred
    to the misinformation published in Eurasianet.org website in his
    videoblog. As reports "Armenpress" Samvel Karapetyan stated that in
    the picture of the Eurasianet article is depicted St. Gevorg Church
    of Dashbulag village, which was entirely Armenian populated before
    1918. The church was built in 1823, when "the Albanians" had left
    the stage 1000 years ago.

    Samvel Karapetyan states: "Azerbaijan paid USD 4, 5 million to import
    cows from Germany and Austria, the photographer took the picture of
    these cows in Dashbulag, which was entirely Armenian populated before
    1918. During Musafat administration the Turkish army massacred all the
    Armenians of the aforementioned village on their road to Baku. One
    can clearly see in the picture that the church became a cattle shed
    without doors. Under the picture there is an inscription saying that
    this is an Albanian church. According to Azerbaijani fabrication the
    Albanians are their ancestors. Hence, it becomes a monument constructed
    by the Turkish Christians, which is being treated as a cattle shed.

    But the fact is that the church in Dashbulag was called after St.

    Gevorg, built in 1828. Among other things it is noteworthy that there
    had been records about the construction works. There is information
    about the aforesaid church in "the Albanian Country and its Neighbors"
    by Bishop Makar Barkhudaryants."
