Oshvank church to be restored in Turkey
16:52 / 02/27/2010Armenian Oshvank church in Erzurum (Turkey) will be
restored at the expense of Turkish Culture and Tourism Ministry.
However, 60 thousand liras granted by the Ministry is not sufficient
for restoration. Thus, Director of Erzurum Department on protection of
culture heritage Suat Bakirkir appealed to Turkish Government with a
request to allocate missing 200 thousand of liras.
Georgia tried to include Oshvank in the list of its monuments and
Georgians attempt to make Turkish officials also do it.
