TURKISH MINISTER CALLS ON TO CO-OPERATE

The Minister of Culture of Turkey Ertugrul Gyunay calls on Armenia to cooperate with Turkey to recover the ruins of Ani ancient city. “Armenia and Turkey should cooperate in the activities of recovering Ani,” said the Minister and added that it would be better for Armenia and Azerbaijan to find such ways of communication also. The recovering activities start from the temple of Ani city supported by the World Fund of Monuments. According to the minister Armenian experts have already taken part in the discussions on the current issue. Regarding the Armenian-Turkish relations the Minister of Culture has notified that it is impossible to establish stability and peace in Caucasus ignoring Azerbaijan. “We should not ignore the Azerbaijani by normalizing relations with Armenia,” said the Turkish Minister. Note that recently Armenian historic monuments in Turkey are being renamed into Turkish names and the Minister expressed his negative approach to this fact. “I don’t think that it is right to rename historic monuments. There is nothing dangerous to keep them as they used to,” he said.
