Turkey’s wishes

Today’s liturgy on the island of Akhtamar is only a museum-hosted
mass, according to the head of Hay Dat central bureau Kiro Manoyan .

`Turkey restored the Holy Cross Church, turning it into a museum.
However, the Armenian church should be operating regardless of
Turkey’s wishes.’

`Turkey’s statements, presenting the liturgy as an act of goodwill
toward Yerevan are senseless. Turkey must fulfill its international
obligations, instead of using words to cover its actions,’ Manoyan
stressed.
