A Turkish journalist has called for keeping the Armenian Genocide issue on the agenda ahead of the 2015 centennial of the big tragedy.
In an article published in the Star, Recep Güvelioğlu recommends focusing attention on the Armenian employment migrants in Turkey and the reconstruction of the ancient historical city of Ani.
“Ani is the center of our belief. And it is of importance for us too. Ravaged for many years, Ani is on the border of Armenia.
“As well as the [Holy Cross Church] of Akhtamar, Ani too, must be reconstructed within a short period with the involvement of international consultants and foreign development companies.
“After the revival of its constructions, this town must be open for Armenians, and they must not be required to have a visa or passport to enter here to see their spiritual values,” he says.
