Surp Khach church of Akhtamar Island will be opened on November 4,
Lraber newspaper of the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople quoted
owner of the reconstructing company Cahit Zeidalan as saying. He said
that the reconstruction works ended on August 30 and currently the
church’s surroundings are being refurbished. He also said that prime
minister Erdogan had attached high importance to the reconstruction,
and most likely the opening will take place on November 4.

Zeidalan considers the reconstruction work to be of high quality
and exemplary for the world. Yet, it’s clear from the above picture
that the constructors have "forgotten" fix crosses on the dome and
on the chapel.
