The news agencies in Turkey, together with the Turkish state, continue the policy of destruction and appropriation of Armenian culture.

This time the well-known Anadolu News Agency filed a report about the ancient Armenian capital city of Ani, but the report did not even utter a word about Armenians, and it pointed solely to the mosques as the important cultural values in Ani.  

In this connection, Agos Armenian weekly of Istanbul ran an article, entitled “Anadolu Agency Erased Armenians from History,” and reflected on this shameful Turkish policy.   

To note, you cannot find “Armenian” or “Armenia” on the signs that are placed near any church or any other structure in Ani, and “mosque” is written in front of the Cathedral of Ani.
