Armenian churches and institutions up for sale

There is a trend in the diaspora and Armenian communities that survived the Armenian genocide of the early 20th century. They settled in harsh and new environments and with great sacrifices as it's traditional with Armenians, kept building churches and community institutions.

However, shortly after the 100th anniversary of the genocide, many institutions are up for sale.

In this page I'll post links to articles regarding those sales:
