If no value is given to an accurate understanding of the past then objects related to that past have no value. To criticise the powerful is a dangerous thing to do - it is too much to expect just for some old buildings that are not even Turkish. Outside pressure is also unlikely. From foreign historians and archaeologists the silence is total. Foreign tourists to Ani mostly don't care, and are too few in number to matter anyway.
Armenian groups are, as usual, uninterested in doing anything practical.
Many of these groups actually continue to present the lame old reasoning that nothing should be done towards pressuring the Turks on the issue of preserving Armenian monuments because it would only hasten the destruction of the remaining monuments. The destruction of the walls continues Historic texts say simply that the walls of Ani were built during 10th century, but the physical remains shows they were added to many times over the following centuries. Ten years ago sheep grazed at the base of the walls on grass covered slopes amid the tumble of fallen masonry - now there is nothing but a sterile wilderness of cement dust and stone chippings. The work continued into the following year. It has resulted in the near total destruction of this monument.
