8 youth organizations call on Armenians not to take part in St. Cross holy mass
A group of eight Armenian youth organizations have addressed a call to all Armenians worldwide, urging not to take part in a mass to be served in Sourb Khach Church (Saint Cross) on Akhtamar Island, Lake Van, eastern Turkey, on September 19.
"As you know, Turkey is getting prepared for a mass to be served in Sourb Khach Church (Saint Cross) on Akhtamar Island, Lake Van, September 19. According to the data at our disposal, about 6000 Armenians have booked tickets and are going to attend that show-program organized in the homeland occupied by Turkey. Well aware of all that being anti-Armenian, considering any Armenian's participation in that event as an unconscious pro-Turkish activity we call on all Armenians not to go and not to participate in that event that mocks Armenians. Any Armenian, who wants to attend it, must ask themselves: but where are the descendants, the offsprings of those who erected that wonderful building?Where is our virtue? … Remember we can never be guests in a land which was seized from us by barbars. We call on all Armenians to join us at 6 pm on August 22 to march to Tsitsernakaberd hilltop memorial to the victims of the Armenian Genocide.”
