    The Turkish government's decree on returning church properties to
    the Christian communities is another PR campaign to support Prime
    Minister Erdogan.

    Turkologist Anush Hovhannisyan stated this during today's press
    conference, Mediamax reports.

    "It's an attempt to gain the favor of Istanbul Armenians and other
    Christian minorities for whom this is a small but a positive step. But
    when we examine the issue from the viewpoint of the property of all
    Armenians these are just trifling fragments", said the turkologist.

    Anush Hovhannisyan informed that 30 titles of property were confiscated
    from the Armenian community of Turkey in 1936-1974, and the Armenian
    community owned about 2500 churches, 450 temples and over 2000
    educational institutions before the Genocide.

    As for the private property, according to the calculations done by
    the sub-committee established within Treaty of Sevres, the Armenians
    suffered about USD10bln material losses.
