After the demolition of the medieval Armenian khachkars in Old Djolfa,
on an initiative of the Armenian party a group of representatives of
European organizations will be visiting the region this summer to find
out how many monuments there are in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan
and their origin. On the eve of this “audit” the government of Armenia
decided May 4 to allocate 2 million 308 thousand drams for locating,
mapping and photographing the Azerbaijani graves and historical,
cultural monuments in Armenia and Artsakh. Under a decision made on the
same day 72 million 862.5 thousand drams was allocated to the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs to prepare and hold the third Armenia-Diaspora
Conference in Yerevan in September 2006.
