TRABZON. - Hasim Kantekin, 78, guards St. Amenaprkich Armenian Church (built in 1424) in Trabzon, Turkey.

Hasim Kantekin told Anadolu agency that the church is located on his territory which he has inherited from his father. The old man informed that he does not keep anything in the church.

He said that he has done everything to preserve the church, or else it would have fallen down years ago.

“Anyone who wants to visit the church, takes the keys from me and enters it,” he said.
