Four Turks tried to find “Armenian treasure”, digging a tunnel of 43 meters in the Maras province of Turkey that used to be Armenian-populated before 1915.
Three treasure hunters thought they had found a place of historic church under Karaelbistan cemetery in Maras and started digging a tunnel to the church from the house of their friend, Milliyet reported.
Turks dug a 43-meter tunnel within 3 months, reached the door with a cross but failed to open it as they were scared to find a trap or toxic gas inside.
As a result of an argument between the diggers, owner of the house called gendarmerie. All participants of a “secret operation” were taken to police and released after giving testimony.
