This is not at Edremit. It is at Dilkaya, better known as Khorkum, the birthplace of Arshile Gorky. And those 24 graves are not Armenian but Urartian-period graves, discovered and excavated in 1984. All that is in the T24 article, so why produce such a garbled version of it here? The destruction is disappointing but unfortunately not in any way unusual – similar damage to cultures of all periods, as well as the loss of huge areas of agricultural land, is now happening on a massive scale in Van, which over the last 5 years has seen scores of enormous TOKI housing developments each containing tens of thousands of apartments sprout up around the city. At Edremit, the recent construction is so extensive it is called “New Edremit”. TOKI, the state-owned (as in owned by whatever party is in power) housing developer, operates without any oversight and is so corrupt that there is a specific law in place in Turkey that makes it a crime to say it is corrupt.
Ma perchè continuiamo ad avere rapporti diplomatici con gli assassini???
Cultural shock?
To build toilets in a historic Armenian Cemetery is of course offensive to us Armenians. But considering the fact that if nature calls while you are strolling in a Muslim city, you are led to a toilet in a mosque by the police, it may seem quite ordinary and not an intentional act for Turks to build toilets at sacred sites.
There is no need really to leave a comment, when anyone who readS this article, will understand what kind of people live and even call themselves “Europeans” and not the real name that describes them “BARBARIANS”…..Sofia
