YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 2, ARMENPRESS. The Turkish society continues to perceive with pain the topic of the Armenians being forcibly Islamized in Turkey in the result of the Armenian Genocide. One of the generations of the Islamized Armenians is also Gafûr Türkan who has returned to his Armenian Christian identity. Gafûr Tyurkan is the secretary general of the Armenian Saint Kirakos church foundation in Diyarberkir. The Turkish Demokrathaber.net had a conversation with the representative of the third generation of the Islamized Armenians touching upon the historical events that changed his life and the lives of his ancestors.

It is good that our Muslim friends did not allow us to forget our Armenian identity saying constantly: “Look, you are Armenian, even your bones are haram,” Gafûr Türkan pointed out as reported by Armenpress.
