    Unidentified assailants have fired on people celebrating Easter in an
    Armenian church in İstanbul's Kumkapı neighborhood.
    Garo Paylan, an Armenian intellectual, wrote in his Twitter feed on
    Sunday that gunmen attacked the church but no one was injured. He said
    the fear prevailed among the church attendants.

    In his second tweet, he said an ultra-nationalist group also burned
    the Armenian weekly newspaper Agos in border province of Iğdır on
    Saturday.

    Recently, the ultra-right group International Association to Fight
    Unfounded Armenian Allegations (ASİM-DER) was active in the social
    media, targeting Armenian agencies, schools, churches, foundations and
    individuals in Turkey as part of an anti-Armenian hate campaign.
