The prefect of Hamamlı village of Turkey’s Artvin Province has already brought the necessary sanitary ware and building material to the area of the historical church, in order to have a public toilet built right next to the church wall.
But local residents as well as journalists visiting this village have condemned such an unacceptable action against the 1,100-year-old church.
Representatives from the provincial department of tourism and culture have visited the village and recorded this disgrace. (www.artvinden.com)
