Istanbul Armenian MP of the Turkish opposition pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party Garo Paylan visited Van Province to check the veracity of the reports that a toilet was built at the historical Dilkaya Tumulus and Armenian Cemetery in Dilkaya neighborhood of Edremit (Artamed) district, Agos reports.
“A human bone came out from everywhere I put my hand in. I no longer have any doubts that this area was an Armenian cemetery.
Everyone I spoke with said about churches, schools. But unfortunately, this recollection has been destroyed. I was saddened that we couldn’t preserve even the remnants of our forebears.”
