YEREVAN. - Turkish bill on Churches and religious property must be nullified, said PhD in Political Science Levon Shirinyan to a press conference on Tuesday.

He argues that the bill is nothing but a worthless step that will not bring any serious change.

'Washington office of Hay Dat also considers it worthless,' said Shirinyan implying the words of Washington Hay Dat office chairman Ken Khachikayn, who earlier said that only 1 percent of churches and adjacent property expropriated during the Armenian Genocide will be returned.   

Shirinyan believes that the bill should be regarded in the context of Turkish policy of bargain, since no bill of the kind has ever passed in Turkey.

Turkish studies expert Anush Hovhannisyan said that the bill is directly related to concept of US Congress on Turkey i.e. calling on Turkey to return the religious property of minorities.

'This is very delicate step aimed at gaining the sympathy of Armenian community of Turkey,' she said.
