Armenian cemetery has no cultural value and Turkey's ministry of
culture and tourism is not interested whether it is destroyed or not.
This is the ministry's response received by correspondent of
Aykiridogrular website, Armenian by origin, Cevat Sinet. The response
came several months after his publication on destroyed Armenian
cemetery.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, an Armenian cemetery
was destroyed in July to build a new road in the Eruh region of the
country's Siirt (Sghert) Province.
Until now, however, an Armenian church-which is located within
the borders of the Kurdish Khert village-was already ruined, and
its continuation was that, instead of restoring the church, the
authorities began destroying the Armenian cemetery situated in the
vicinity of the church.
And even though the human skeletons are scattered all over the
area, the persons in charge continue to build roads on the bones
of Armenians.
It is not the first case of vandalism against the Armenian graves
in Turkey. Armenian cemeteries are destroyed to build a school,
kindergarten, hospital, stadium or road.
