As part of Turkey's effort to promote its unique Anatolian heritage to the world, Akdamar Holy Cross Church photo exhibit opens in Istanbul
The Akdamar Holy Cross Church is a unique work of art and it has now been captured by the lens of veteran photographer Izzet Keribar.
The 1,100-year-old Akdamar Church, a medieval Armenian church in Turkey’s eastern Van province, was built between 915 and 921 by architect Bishop Manuel, under the direction of King Gagik I Artsruni. "We have protected and preserved the Akdamar Church, which is an important belief centre of the Christian community, especially the Armenian peoples. We have worked diligently to preserve our common cultural heritage and to pass it on to future generations," Erdogan's message read.
