    'All Turkish and Muslim Monuments Destroyed in Yerevan'

    Journal of Turkish weekly, Turkey
    May 6 2005

    Dr. Erol Kurkcuoglu from Erzurum Ataturk University said that the
    Armenians had destroyed the Turkish and Muslim heritage in Armenia.
    "Once Yerevan was a Turkish city" Kurkcuoglu added.

    Kurkcuoglu said "the name of the city was Revan until the 19th
    century. Gok, Kopru Kulagi, Tepebasi Mescits and Serdar Castle were
    destroyed by the Armenians. They destroyed all Turkish and Muslim
    traces in Armenia. 83 percent of Yerevan was Turkish during the 19th
    century, however the share decreased to 4.3 after the First World War".

    There is almost no Muslim or Turkish population in Armenia right now.
    More than 1 million Turkish people became refugee after the Karabakh
    Occupation. 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories have been under
    Armenian population for a decade.
