The holy mass to be served in St Cross Church of Akhtamar Island,
Lake Van, on September 12 has been postponed, since on that very day a
referendum of constitutional amendments have been scheduled in Turkey.
Turkish CNNTurk reported the head of Van community talked to archbishop
Aram Ateshyan and offered to delay the mass for a week.
Armenian side agreed with the new terms, which was appreciated by
Turkish authorities.
It’s worth reminding that after the reconstruction of 2007 Akhtamar’s
St Cross has become a museum and is crossless till today.
