Turks admired Armenian national Dances

20/9/2010

Armenian songs and dances followed the liturgy at Surb Khach, the NEWS.am correspondent reports from Van.

He said the150 members of the Istanbul-based Armenian song and dance group Maral performed Armenian national dances, like Vagharshapat, Mardapar,  Naz Par, Sasun and others.

The group was formed in 1980.

As reported previously, only the Constantinople Patriarchate participated in the liturgy. The three other patriarchates of the Armenian Apostolic Church refused to take part in the liturgy, as the Turkish authorities refused to install a cross on atop the church. Armenian public representatives also refused to take part in the liturgy for the same reason, though they received invitations from the Turkish Premier. The public figures stated that Surb Khach church cannot be considered restored until a cross has been installed on its dome.
