at the state level:

The last remnants of the Armenian monuments in Turkey will disappear in less than decades, Samvel Karapetyan, an Armenian scientist engaged in monument studies, said at a press conference today.
"A few years will pass, even not decades, and the last remnants of the Armenian monuments will disappear," said he.
Apparently resentful of a recent trip to Turkey only to find out that the Armenian monuments and cemeteries are being robbed and demolished, Mr Karapetyan said that the Turkish state has no direct participation in that process. Instead, Turkey - through its inaction - encourages the demolition of the Armenian monument at the state level.
In his words, every day Turkish TV channels show footage of how their citizens find gold and other treasures while demolishing an Armenian church or cemetery - something that prompts the Turkish society to such actions.
"While the Armenians existed [there], they would enjoy what the living Armenians earned, and now they hope that they will live on some treasures dug out of our cemeteries or from who knows where," said Mr Karapetyan.
Further he said that Turkey still continues to extinguish the Armenian origins from its territory - once home to more than millions of Armenians.
"Turkey has not stopped the process of extinguishing our origins from our home," said Mr Karapetyan, adding that anything reminiscent of the Armenian origin testifies to the historical truth - something that bothers Turkey very much.
