/PanARMENIAN.Net/ It was decided to establish the historical justice in
Kamenets-Podolsky. A location where there was once an old Armenian cathedral
demolished by the Soviet authorities was given to the Armenian community for
building the temple. Armenians say the bridge and the canyon at the entry of
the Old City in Kamenets-Podolsky are very similar to their fatherland.
Armen Khachatryan, the Armenian Ambassador to Ukraine said, «There are arcs
though and the bridge is more beautiful, however the landscape is like the
Kiiv bridge and the gorge in Yerevan.» Six centuries ago Armenians built
Kamenets-Podolsky equally with Ukrainians and Poles. Thus they also have
their emblem on the city arms. Now there is a Khachkar – a stone cross in
the city. It is erected in the location where a temple will be built. The
Khachkar also commemorates the victims of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman
Turkey in 1915, reported Novy Kanal.
