Islamized Armenians after visiting Armenia will return to historic Tigranakert with a sense of 
unity

YEREVAN, AUGUST 15, ARMENPRESS. 50 crypto Armenians from Turkey’s   Diyarbakir, (Tigranakert), who have arrived in Armenia within the frames of the program "Ari Tun" of the Ministry of Diaspora of the Republic of Armenia, will return to historic Armenia imbued with a sense of ​​unity. As reports "Armenpress", on August 15, during a press conference this was said by Diyarbakir Armenian community representative Ohannes Ohanyan (Gafur Turkay), visiting Armenia for the third time. According to him, the initiative was particularly important for the restoration and reunification of the severed link between the Armenians living in Turkey and the other segment of the Armenians after ninety years. "Within fifteen days of our stay in Armenia we saw that we have the same goals - to come together and preserve our unity, and we are leaving to Diyarbakir with this sense," he said.

The visit to Armenia gives an opportunity to recover lost contacts with their relatives. "Our entire family was massacred during the Genocide, and only three children were able to survive. The mother of one of them managed to take her to Syria, from where they eventually came and settled down in Armenia. The other two brothers were able to survive in Western Armenia being forced to profess Islam. For the first time coming to Armenia I was very impressed and touched twice, because I could find and get acquainted with my uncle's family that live in Armenia," said Ohanyan.
