  Cross on Surb Khach Church on Akhtamar island can cause Muslims' displeasureJuly 27, 2009 - 15:10 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey's decision to inaugurate a cross on Surb Khach Armenian Church on Akhtamar island doesn't imply any change of Ankara's position, according to professor Ruben Safrastyan, director of the RA NAS Institute of Oriental Studies. "Furthermore, Turkish restorers will not be able to reconstruct the church observing Armenian cultural traditions," prof. Safrastyan told PanARMENIAN.Net "Inauguration of a cross on the Armenian Church may arouse Muslims' displeasure. Intolerance towards other religious is growing in Turkey. This country's religious policy is still anti-Christian," he said.
