    ARMENIAN SIDE SHOULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN TURKISH SHOW, RPA MEMBER SAYS

    If a cross is not installed on the dome of a church, it cannot be
    considered a church, Mkrtich Lazarian, an MP from Republican Party
    of Armenia (RPA), told journalists today, commenting on the Turkish
    authorities' disgraceful step to put off the cross installation.

    According to the MP, the Armenian side should not play into Turkey's
    hands, as Turks try to show the world Turkey is a democratic state.

    "We should show the world there are truths to be accepted. However, to
    show itself to the world by such a step is not evidence of democracy,"
    the MP said. Lazarian emphasized the Armenian Patriarchate of
    Constantinople must participate in the religious service, as it
    operates in Turkey. "If the Patriarchate makes extreme steps, it will
    lose a right to organize any event," Minasyan said.

    The parliamentarian confessed he would attend the religious service
    only if a cross is installed on the dome of Surb Khach Church.
