    YEREVAN, JULY 3, ARMENRPESS. The Housing Development Administration
    of Turkey (TOKÄ°) has begun the destruction of the historical Armenian
    houses in Kale district of the city of Mush. As reports "Armenpress",
    Armenian periodical "Agos" stated this.

    In accordance with the new Turkish project it is considered to destroy
    about 500 houses and build 770 new houses instead of them. It is
    also stated that the current dwellers refuse to take the money
    provided by the Housing Development Administration of Turkey and
    leave the houses. Notwithstanding, responding their complaints the
    representatives of the Housing Development Administration of Turkey
    announced that they will destroy the houses either way and if the
    residents do not leave the houses on their own accord, then all their
    things will appear under the ruins.

    One of the residents of Kale district Erjan Chetin stated that they
    do not want to leave the houses, which was built 148 years ago. "My
    house costs millions, but instead TOKI will give only a one-roomed
    or two-roomed flat," the Kale resident noted. Also he underscoredthat
    the municipality representatives threatened him to leave the house.

    Previously, an electronic petition has been launched in Turkey to
    prevent the destruction of the historical Armenian houses in Mush.

    "The Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians are subjected to systematic
    massacre.

    The process, launched by the Armenian Genocide of 1915, is now
    continued as a cultural and economic genocide. They aim at getting
    maximum profit and destroying the collective memory," the organizers
    stated.
