YEREVAN. – The Armenian authorities do not actively react to the cases of destruction of Armenian monuments in Turkey and Azerbaijan, expert Samvel Karapetyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am commenting on the reports about the destruction of the Armenian cemetery in Turkey.

“In Turkey the Armenian monuments have been destructed and the process continues, and the current destruction of a cemetery is a very trifle thing actually,” Karapetyan believes.

He reminded that when even more significant fact of destruction was registered in Azerbaijan, which destroyed Armenian medieval cross-stones in Nakhidjevan, the Armenian authorities did not responded to it properly as well.

As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, an Armenian cemetery was destroyed in July in Turkey to build a new road in the Eruh region of the country’s Siirt (Sghert) Province.
