AUTHORITIES IN TURKISH PROVINCE RESTORING ARMENIAN CEMETERY

NEWS | 18.12.12 | 14:18

Authorities in Turkey’s province of Malatya have carried out
reconstruction work at an Armenian cemetery where two buildings were
demolished earlier this year angering the local Armenians.

A guardhouse and a chapel are being rebuilt and will soon be handed
to the Armenian community of Malatya, reported Turkish media, quoting
official sources. The buildings had been ruined when workers targeted
the wrong structures while doing work on the site.

Once the restored buildings are provided with electricity, water
and natural gas and the area is improved, they will be provided to
the HAYDER organization, which represents the Armenian community of
Malatya, the reports say.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
