/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey uses new methods to destroy Armenian cultural
monuments, Candidate of Historical Sciences Hayk Demoyan told
journalists in Yerevan yesterday. `If earlier monuments were openly
destroyed in Turkey, the situation has changed drastically lately,’
the historian notes.
In his words, `restoration works’ are held in Ani and in Akhtamar
Island at the moment. Demoyan said that under the pretence of
`restoration’ Turkish authorities complete the genocide of Armenian
monuments, that they launched already in 1915 – simultaneous to the
Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey. `Not only 1.5 million Armenians
were destroyed by Turks at the time, but also thousands of Armenian
cultural monuments,’ the historian said, reports Novosti-Armenia.
