1. An A*****e like this should be hung from his b***s. He has no right to keep the church it belongs to the Armenian people and they are the rightful owners.

2. Mr. Altayli can not be so aggressive if not protected by the Government. He is their mouth piece.

3. Article 42

   “The Turkish Government undertakes to grant full protection to the churches, synagogues, cemeteries, and other religious establishments of the above-mentioned minorities. All facilities and authorization will be granted to the pious foundations, and to the religious and charitable institutions of the said minorities at present existing in Turkey, and the Turkish Government will not refuse, for the formation of new religious and charitable institutions, any of the necessary facilities which are granted to other private institutions of that nature.”

   Thank you for Ayse and Nadya to keep this story alive!
   What Fatih Altayli is doing is replicating what the government of Turkey has been doing proudly since 1923 even displaying on their government site the Lausanne treaty which Turkey ratified on 23 August 1923

4. In the last decades I visited Varakavank several times. In your above article you speak about “the” church. It was not ONE church ! In the decades between the villages´ Armenian name Varakavank and todays´ name Bakracli Köyü, the village had the official Turkish name Yedikilise. As visitors could imagine that there were seven churches of course the name was changed into Bakracli ! By the way what even Altayli doesn´t know, up above the village is still an Armenian church that formerly was a Urartain temple. In the Nineties a group of Turkish Archaeologists was digging in this church ruin. They threw off some little Khachkars, which they were not searching and one smaller stone with two or three words in Kuneiform.

5. *** I will spite on his face for being such an arrogant jerk., no matter what and how long.., we will get our churches and lands back., and the enemy knows that.., that’s why the are so afraid and talk crap all the time., denying the truth only buys temporary time for them, but guess what.? we also need that time to mobilize our strength and effectiveness as well & put them on defense and running on the worlds opinion stage.

6. Id like to spit in his face he is a liar and a coward

7. Dear Ayse, I’m kissing your forehead gratefully.

8. One of my all time favorite videos is an episode of Altayli’s tv show where he gets into a heated argument with a guest who calls him, in his face, a government suck-up and an idiot. Not to mention that every ounce of journalistic integrity he had left went out the window during his cringeworthy attempts to suck up to Erdogan during an interview while the Gezi protests were going on. He recently published an article whining about the fact that people were being mean and public opinion is that he’s a suck-up.

   The guy is a snake. When secularists were in charge, he was all about Ataturk and the republic. Now he’s taking orders from AKP and publishing only their falsified version of reality on his show and articles.

   But even with all that in mind, I STILL couldn’t believe that he actually said “The first instance I meet her, I will sexually harass her”. So I looked it up. I couldn’t believe what I heard. And actually let me make a slight correction to the translation, he literally said “If I don’t sexually harass her at the first place I see her, then I’m a coward.” That’s OUTRAGEOUS.

   To the issue of owning an Armenian church and Turks taking over Armenian possessions, it reminded me of a personal story. I had already known that my dad was born in a former Greek village that my grandparents moved into after the population exchanges. But I recently found out, from Turkish wikipedia of all places, that the village he grew up in, in Sivas, was an Armenian village whose inhabitants were presumably killed during the genocide. It said “the former Armenian village was emptied of its inhabitants during the ‘deportations'” My grandparents have since moved from Istanbul back to that village. The deed is in my dad’s name, and presumably it will be left to me when he passes. That’s stolen genocide property in my own family. I don’t remember ever being this sickened in my life. It also turns out that the district in Sivas that my dad is from used to be almost entirely Armenian, with a Greek minority, virtually zero Muslims. Now there’s a very large Alevi population in the area, and with the hidden Armenians and links to Alevis (like me) I’m beginning to suspect I may have Armenian ancestry. Might have to get a genealogy DNA test.

   • {“I’m beginning to suspect I may have Armenian ancestry.”}

     …..suspected as much since you first started posting……
     Kidding.

     But seriously, I’d rather you didn’t have Armenian ancestry: I’d rather a genuine Turk (or Kurd) arrive at the unpalatable conclusion of what their Turk (Kurd) ancestors did to Armenians and other Christians, as you did after attempting to disprove AG by yourself (….as I recall from one of your posts), and discovering the terrible truth.

9. Why make a fuss about a journalist who harsly critise the government? I suppose any Armenian can go and visit the church he owns
