le=”text-align: justify; “>The reconstruction of historical Armenian Surb Kirakos Church in Turkey’s southeastern province of Diyarbakır has costed more than expected as a result of which no money has remained for the restoration of nearby constructions, CNNturk reports.
The 100kg-weight bronze bell prepared in Moscow and the restoration of the church costed about 2 million Turkish lira.
The dome with 29-meter gold cross built by an Armenian master in 1883 was bombed for being higher from the minarets of surrounding mosques.
The church sank into oblivion after migration of Armenians from Tigranakert. In 2010 the restoration of the church launched but the works have stopped for already a month.
