An18th century Armenian church in Tuzhisar, a village located in the
Turkish region of Hafik (Sivas province), will be reconstructed.
According to Turkish news source Hurriyet Daily News and Economic
Review, the proposal to reconstruct the church — presently used as
a store — was an initiative by Zeki Aydın, head of Hafik Regional
Council and member of the ruling Justice and Development Party.
"We have informed the Minister of Culture and Tourism about our wish.
We will do our best to reconstruct the church and turn it into a
tourist spot," said Aydın.
A few weeks ago, Deputy Governor of Van Halil Bers had said that,
according to a project designed by the provincial administration,
two more churches will be reconstructed in Van.
