EU disapprovingly remarked demolition of Kars Monument to Humanity
The demolition of the Monument to Humanity erected in the Turkish city of Kars has been disapprovingly remarked by the European Union (EU). The co-president of the EU-Turkey Joint Parliamentary Committee, Hélène Flautre called it a disturbing reality.
“The demolition of the unfinished monument, in fact, is a censorship against art. That monument used to be a project towards Armenian-Turkish relations, while having it demolished, the message of the statue becomes ineffective,” Turkish “Hurriyet” quotes Hélène Flautre as saying.
The Monument to Humanity was erected in Kars and it was dedicated to the relations of Armenia and Turkey. Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan called the statue “ugly”.
