Celik receives Armenian lute player

Culture and Tourism Minister Omer Celik has received Armenian lute player Yervant Bostanci at the Lutfi Kirdar International Congress and Exhibition Hall in Istanbul over the weekend. "In Turkey, none of the citizens are currently obliged to go far away. We want to see our citizens, who had to go far away, in their country now. This is the wealth and greatness of Turkey," Celik said as part of the meeting. For his part, Bostanci said that he was quite happy to be in Turkey. "We were born and raised here, and also we have done our military service here," Bostanci added.
