PanARMENIAN.Net - A statue set at the entrance of Turkish Dumlupınar
University hostel was removed for unknown reasons. The marble statue
with carved images of a lion and an eagle was meant to symbolize the
unity of Turkish nation.
However, Republican People's Party (CHP) member Oktay EkÅ~_i raised
the issue of statue's removal at parliament, noting that the statue
carries resemblance to certain Armenian symbols.
"The animals on the statue are present on Armenia's coat of arms. Might
that be a reason for the statue's removal?" the parliamentarian
questioned, according to Milliyet.
