Peace at home, peace on earth:Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
I think our point is that you shouldn't even be touching Ani in the first place... if it was too subtle for you to understand. And when are you leaving for good? You've said "goodbye" more times than I can count, yet you still keep coming. Stop getting my hopes up.
So, instead of using Ani to support your current stereotypes about how Turks are barbars,etc. we must do what can we do to make Ani better. You can critisize the restoration, I know that some Turkish academics also critisize it and say that restoration is not conducting very professionally. But don't make the "Look at Turks, how bad they are!" Critisize honestly, don't exaggarate it to attack Turks.
We can do a lot of things to rescue Ani.
Also, maybe Ani can be proclaimed a land which belongs to both Turkey and Armenia.
A lot of things can be done if you really care Ani instead of using it to struggle with your identity problems.
So it is news to you that Turkey has a hobby of getting rid of anything found in Western Armenia?
Our Khachkars have been used as urinals, our churches as barns...This is not fabrication. This has been reported by everybody who has been in this region of *shudder* Turkey.
