In an interview with NTV TV channel, h
ead of Kars branch of the Nationalist Movement Party Oktay Atkas, made a fool of himself, claiming there was never an Armenian kingdom in Ani.
“There was never an Armenian kingdom in Ani. There are more monuments left from Seljuks” Oktay Atkas said.
The leader of the Nationalist Movement Party Devlet Bahceli has decided to start parliamentary election campaign by uttering a prayer in Cathedral of Ani on October 1. The MP made such a decision to counterbalance the liturgy in Surb Khach. Turkish nationalists have already bought 500 tickets and prepared 2000 Turkish flags.
Te Cathedral of Ani is an original pearl of Caucasian architecture. Ani was once the capital of a medieval Armenian kingdom that covered much of present day Armenia and eastern Turkey.
The Cathedral was founded by the order of King Smbat II and was completed under the patronage of the wife of King Gagik I, Queen Katranide. The cathedral was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was built by a talented architect Trdat, whose 10th century monuments have been argued to be the forerunners of Gothic architecture which came to Europe several centuries later.
