    ASHOT MELKONYAN: WE DON'T NEED INVITATION TO VISIT OUR HISTORICAL LANDS

    Armenians do not need an invitation to visit their historical lands,
    director of the Institute of History at the RA National Academy of
    Sciences stated.

    "We know where our historical monuments are located and should be
    a part of a Turkish show," Ashot Melkonyan said during a meeting of
    the association of expatriate communities.

    Professor Ruben Safrastyan, director of the Institute of Oriental
    Studies at RA NAS, noted for his part that Shariat prohibits
    installation of crosses on Christian churches,Panarmenian.net reported.

    "With this cheap show, Turkey just feigns an intention to normalize
    relations with Armenia," he said.

    According to Zhasmen Asryan, member of the sub-commission on religion,
    diaspora and international integration at the RA Public Council,
    Turkey will not only derive benefits from its show but will also
    demand action on Armenia's part.

    The association said in the resulting statement that organization
    of liturgy in Holy Cross Church is nothing but an attempt to improve
    Turkey's image in the eyes of the international community.
