Three Turks dig for Armenian treasure hunt in Kayseri

 In Turkey, one of Turkey’s favorite “sports” and the hunt for “Armenian treasure”. And it is not uncommon to see every week Turkish news fueled by the story of some treasure hunters, the treasure of the Armenians they would have hidden during the genocide.
In Kayseri last week the police arrested some of these “Armenian treasure hunters”.
According to the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet, the Kayseri police received a call informing that people were digging the earth around old buildings that had belonged to Armenians. Immediately the police arrested three people who claimed that they had received information about a treasure hidden in the ground by the Armenians. One of these treasure seekers told the press “we were looking for the king’s crown, but we found some bones …”.
