PanARMENIAN.Net – The Armenian church in the Turkish town of Aksehir, Konya will be restored, while the priest's house behind the church will serve as a boutique hotel, Agos reports.

To be restored in the framework of the World Humor Village Project, the church will start operating as a cultural center.

Aksehir Mayor Dr. Salih Akkaya said repair projects will be prepared for the Armenian bath in the village of Mizah and that restoration works will be completed in the coming years.

“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
