Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum and Institute Hayk Demoyan
said that throughout its history Turkey has been destroying Armenian
monuments, roughly violating the Treaty of Lausanne. Destruction
of cultural heritage is a punishable offence, while Armenia has all
facts proving destruction of Armenian monuments at Turkey’s territory,
Demoyan told Cultural Genocide international conference in Yerevan.

According to him, Armenia is ready to provide these facts to any
international institution.

"We should act efficiently and adequately estimate the actions similar
to destruction of Armenian monuments in Julfa," the historian said.

According to him, feeling the approaching threat, today Turkey states
about its readiness to reconstruct Surb Khach Church of Akhtamar
Island, however, it is a lie. "Through these statements Ankara wants
to divest itself of responsibility," Mr. Demoyan noted.
