Erol Dora, Turkish Parliament’s Assyrian MP from Turkey ‘s pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party’s (BDP), visited the Armenian orphanage ��?Camp Armen,’ which is under the threat of demolition, NEWS.am reports.

During his visit, the Assyrian MP met with activists of the Armenian movement ��?Nor Zartonk’ (��?New Awakening’), who keep vigil over the half-ruined building, trying to save it from demolition, the Armenian-Turkish newspaper Agos reports.

Following his visit, Erol Dora stated that anyone who has at least a mite of conscience, would give the building to the Armenians. It’s necessary to demand transferring ��?Camp Armen’ not to social ownership, but to that of the Armenian community, he said.

In 1987, the orphanage ��?Camp Armen’ was usurped by the Turkish state, following which it was sold to a private entrepreneur. The latter decided to build elite apartment building on their place. Public pressure helped to stop the demolition of the building.

Famous Armenian-Turkish journalist Hrant dink, assassinated in 2007, and his widow Rakel, grew up in that orphanage.
