the preservation of the historical monument. Representatives of
EU-Armenia Parliamentary Cooperation Committee, NA deputies and others

Armen Hakhnazaryan, Chairman of the NGO studying the Armenian
Architecture, presenting the diamonds of the Armenian architecture,
noted that the goal of the NGO is the preservation and evaluation
of the Armenian architectural values left out of Armenia after World
War I.

exhibition from the viewpoint of presenting our Armenian cultural
