The court, examining the case initiated by the Armenian St Nikoghayos
church’s fund against Istanbul City Hall, ruled in favor of the
Armenian party, Armenpress reports citing Turkish Sahib.
According to the court’s decision, the 37500 sq. m. territory,
including the Armenian cemetery, was given to the Armenian St
Nikoghayos church’s fund. The fund’s chairman Varuzhan Maghatelyan
noted that the church had been waiting for this decision for a
long time.
“The Istanbul City Hall will protest against the court’s ruling
but we think that the final decision will also be in our favor”,
Maghatelyan said.
