MALATYA, FEBRUARY 6, ARMENPRESS: After demolition of the annexes of
the Armenian graveyard in Malatya in February 2, the Turkish warden
of the graveyard has been threatened with death, Armenpress reports.
Najie Chaleshkan, the warden, said in an interview with CNNTurk
that after demolishing the newly-built annexes by permission of the
Mayor’s Office, they began disturbing her. “People of the neighborhood
disturb me for being a warden here. They often break the windows of the
watchhouse and demolish the tombs. They call me “gavur” (nonbeliever).
Their children do not play with mine. I am very afraid, we are not
safe at all as we are always threatened with death,” the Turkish
woman warden of the Armenian graveyard complained.
