Panorama
Sept 2 2010
Armenia
Turkish expert Behlul Ozqan met with Armenian reporters today and
expressed deep grief since once Eastern Anatolia (Western Armenia)
had one million Armenians but now 60 thousand live there. Turkish
expert asked Artak Shaqaryan, expert of Turkish studies to underscore
“deep grief.”
“Now we have less Armenians to live in eastern Anatolia, Anatolia is
of great significance for Armenians having historical, religious and
cultural worth,” Ozqan said adding in this respect it’s natural that
a liturgy will take place in St Cross of Van.
On 19 September a liturgy will take place in St Cross Church.
