Manuscript of an Armenian gospel looted from the church after Turkey’s invasion to Cyprus, has been returned to its homeland.
Altogether 173 relics were returned to Cyprus, as reported byhttps://famagusta-gazette.com.
The relics were returned after a German Court of Appeals issued its final decision on the treasures stolen by a Turkish art smuggler from the areas of Cyprus occupied by Turkey.
The treasures, including fragments of church wall paintings, icons, a manuscript of an Armenian gospel and 40 prehistoric antiquities were found in 1997 in the flat of a Turkish dealer in Munich.
