Iran border-guards spread news about cross destructions in Julfa

These ideas belong to Derenik Melikyan, the editor-in-chief of Alik newspaper published in Armenian language in Iran, APA reports.

Derenik Melikyan says that there are enough schools, churches and media meeting the demands of Armenians in Iran, Armenian historical monuments, especially, Surb Tatevos temple in Atrratakan are protected by the government. "The only difficulty for Armenians is the activity of local Turkish speaking circles. But both Armenian community and Iran government observes their activity and takes needed measures in any case," he said.

Derenik Melikyan also said that Iran diplomatic circles have also warm relations with Armenians living in the foreign countries. He also said the information about Armenian monuments in Iran and Surb Tatevos temple was posted in the website of Russia Embassy. It should be noted that with the support of Iran government Armenians call some Christian monuments in South Azerbaijan to be theirs. So, Iran government already suggested including Black Church (Surb Tatevos) temple to UNESCO World Heritage sites.
