Armenian cemetery has no cultural value and Turkey’s ministry of culture and tourism is not interested whether it is destroyed or not.

This is the ministry’s response received by correspondent of Aykiridogrular website, Armenian by origin, Cevat Sinet. The response came several months after his publication on destroyed Armenian cemetery.

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

Until now, however, an Armenian church—which is located within the borders of the Kurdish Khert village—was already ruined, and its continuation was that, instead of restoring the church, the authorities began destroying the Armenian cemetery situated in the vicinity of the church.   

And even though the human skeletons are scattered all over the area, the persons in charge continue to build roads on the bones of Armenians. 

It is not the first case of vandalism against the Armenian graves in Turkey. Armenian cemeteries are destroyed to build a school, kindergarten, hospital, stadium or road.
