The cat is dated centuries back to the Armenians. Van was in Armenia before Turkey commited a genocide on the Armenians and attempted to change them to Muslim from their Christianity and were unsuccessful, but in doing so took more than 60% of their land and killed roughly 1.5 million Armenians. So to say Van is turkish is incorrect. It now belongs to turkey, but was named by Armenians in Armenia living in their country at the time. The cat which is called the "Haygagan Van Gatu" is translated from Armenian meaning with exact translation to be "Armenian Van Cat" . Turks can name it what they wish but its origin is Armenian.
