German Ambassador to Turkey Eckart Kuntz, who arrived in Van to take part in the liturgy in Surb Khach church on Akhtamar Island, met with the Van Governor.

A NEWS.am correspondent reports from Van that at his meeting with journalists the German Ambassador recalled his presence at the opening ceremony of the church in 2007. The liturgy in Surb Khach church will contribute to Armenian-Turkish rapprochement, Ambassador Kuntz said with hope.
