The Church of Surp Giragos (St. Cyriacus, Սուրբ Կիրակոս եկեղեցի) is an Armenian Apostolic church in Diyarbakır, Turkey, seen as one of the largest and most important Armenian churches in the Middle East, with seven altars.
It was looted and closed during the Armenian Genocide in 1915-1916, and only returned to the local Armenian community in 1960.
In 2009 a group of Armenians constituted a committee for reconstruction of the building under the auspices of the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople.
After obtaining authorization from the turkish government, reconstruction began.
Exceptionally, this was the first time in post-imperial Turkey that an abandoned church was restored as a place of worship rather than a museum.
