After its restoration, the 142-year-old Armenian Protestant church
in Turkey’s Diyarbakir Province has been turned into a workshop.

The Armenian church, which was restored by Turkey’s Directorate General
of Foundations, began functioning as Women’s Education Center, Vatan
daily of Turkey informs. At the Center, young girls and women learn
silversmithery and silk-making.

This program’s director, Bilgin Yigit, noted they are attempting to
re-establish the arts and crafts of the Armenians and Syriacs who
had left Diyarbakir.
