Sunday's service is the first at the church in 95 years

Armenian worshippers have held a service in a church in eastern Turkey for the first time in nearly 100 years.

The church, on an island in Lake Van, was damaged during the mass killing of Armenians during the First World War.

It was restored by the government in 2007 and turned into a museum."
