He is not a policeman, he is just a guard/caretaker and is employed by the Turkish Ministry of Tourism.

Whatever he is, it`s still a shame. Btw I read this interesting comment at Zaman. Let me quote:

All of the above in this article is a good show. A group of Armenian children from Armenia were told to leave Sourp Khatch church on the island of Aghtamar for lighting candles, singing, and praying. The children, who were winners of Hay Aspet’s (Armenian Knight) television contest, were on a visit to Turkey. Karin Tonoyan, founder and director of Hay Aspet, told News.am that the children wanted to light candles in the church, “but policemen said that it is forbidden, as ‘it is a museum and the walls will be stained.’ I told the children to stand in the center, not to stain the walls. The Children started singing and praying; but suddenly a policeman came and told us to leave the church.” Tonoyan said that the kids left the church, but continued to sing outside it. They were not allowed to burn incense by the Khatchkars (cross-stones) or gravestones in the church’s surrounding area. A video clip posted on YouTube shows the kids singing “Der Voghormya” (“Lord Have Mercy”) as they are being told to step outside, where they continue singing the hymn. To watch the clip, click here. Established in 2005, Hay Aspet Educational Philanthropic Fund is an organization based in Yerevan, which aims to encourage youth patriotism and activism in schools, through extracurricular activities, after school programs, and campaigns. Check out YouTube. The Turk policemen are forbidding armenians praying in the armenian churches. I rest my case.

Mods, re the above post, what's the point of banning spammers but then allowing their posts to remain? All the spamming / advertising links are still there in the post, ready to be listed on google.

Thanks for the heads up bell. We must have missed this one, he posted on at least 5 different threads that's why it seems like he was banned but not cleaned up.
