Arpa Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Here it is: http://www.hyetert.com/yazi3.asp?s=1&am … mp;DilId=1 Louise, I can’t zero in on the particular article. Can you point to it or copy and paste? Some of us may be able to read it. In the meantime see the latest. We have spoken extensively about Sinan the Builder/Architect. Yet, I doubt if they will ever mention his Christian Armenian origin. --- ISTANBUL, JUNE 12, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The year of famous Armenian architect Sinan's memorial started in Turkey. According to panarmenian.net, the solemn ceremonies began at President's Palace with a documentary film about Sinan. Events dedicated to Sinan are also planned to be held in London, Jerusalem, Paris and Cairo. The famous Ottoman architect Sinan was born in an Armenian family in 1489. They wanted to make him a yenicheri, but then Sultan Selim sent him to learn painting and architecture. Sinan worked under five Sultans and made distinguished pieces of Islamic architecture. The Suleiman Mosque, Dolmabahce Palace and Topkapi are among them. Sinan in total built 365 buildings, mosques, madrassahs, tombs, public and bath-houses.

They are publising again now. It is to throw in the waste basket. May be they will make in new list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
