Armenian Church in Dink’s birthplace to be restored

The restoration of Tashoron Church, located in Cavusoglu, Province of Malatya, Turkey, will be held as a result of an appeal by Mosque Building and Preservation Foundation to Turkish Ministry of Culture, Turkish news agency Anadolu reports.

Tashoron is a 280-year-old Armenian church located in Cavusoglu neighborhood, the birthplace of slain Editor-in-Chief of Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos daily Hrant Dink.

Dink visited the church back in 2002 and voiced the necessity of its restoration.
