    RUBEN MELKONYAN: TURKEY DESTROYS ARMENIAN, GREEK, ASSYRIAN CULTURAL ARTIFACTS

    Armenia has to intensify activities in relevant international
    organizations to draw attention to Turkey's demolition of non-Turkic
    cultural heritage, a Turkish Studies expert stated.

    At news conference in Yerevan, Ruben Melkonyan cited as an example
    Turkey's transforming a Kars-based Armenian church into a mosque, as
    well as a failure to point out Armenian origin of cultural monuments
    in Western Armenia.

    As the expert stressed, Turkey has similar attitude to all non-Muslim
    artifacts, specifically Assyrian and Greek ones. According to
    him, Turkey is using the other nations' cultural heritage and
    tourist attractions to gain its ends, setting monuments, allegedly
    commemorating "victims of Turkish genocide perpetrated by Armenians"
    right next to them.
