"The Turkish initiative of restoring St. Cross Church of Aghtamar
aims to affect the international public opinion and neutralize the
international recognition and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide,"
Haik Demoyan, Genocide museum head, released a statement today.
In his opinion, it is doubtful that one of the Armenian temples is
restored whereas the other, Arakelots church of Kars, has turned into
a mosque.
"I hope that the Turkish government will express a more serious
attitude to the Armenian cultural heritage in the areas which were
abandoned by Armenians because of the genocide and will not turn such
events into an obvious propaganda acts," Demoyan says.
