Vakıflı Köyü is the only remaining ethnic Armenian village in Turkey. Located on the slopes of Musa Dagh in the Samandağ district of Hatay Province, the village overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and is within eyesight of the Syrian border. It is home to a community of about 130 Turkish-Armenians. Vakıflı is the only totally Armenian village in the World still speaking a dialect of Western Armenian.
The dialect is very thick, and cannot be understood by other Western Armenians. Between 1994 and 1997, the village church was reconstructed and expanded with assistance from the Turkish government.
