The so-called “Union against the Absurd Armenian Claims” Turkish organization has launched a campaign to remove the sign in Armenian letters posted in Tuzluja.

Leader of the organization Gioksek Gulbey has demanded removing the Armenian words on the signs posted near the entrance to and exit from the city of Tuzluja (historical Koghb), which is the center of the Igdir province of the homonymous state of Turkey, claiming that Armenians killed Muslims in Tuzluja between 1915 and 1920 and stating that the writing in Armenian is inappropriate.

Gulbey declared that he is getting ready to file a lawsuit and appeal to the government and the office of the governor of Igdir, reports the Turkish Sondakika news website, according to ermenihaber.am.

Signs reading “Welcome” and “Goodbye” in Turkish, Kurdish, Armenian and English were recently posted near the entrance to and exit from the city of Tuzluja (historically Koghb city). According to beyazgazete.com, one of the mayors of Koghb, Mehmet Gultekin especially referred to the writing in Armenian on the sign when touching upon the topic. He mentioned that Koghb is a province bordering Armenia, adding that Armenians used to live there and that the names of many places are in Armenian.
