PanARMENIAN.Net – Know Your Country youth initiative members visited
the 10th century Gndevank Monastery complex in Armenia’s Vayots Dzor
province and cleared the monastery-adjacent territory of accumulated
waste.
According to the statement issued by the initiative members, Echmiadzin
is refusing to assume guardianship of thousands of inactive churches
in Armenia; while the Ministry of Culture, justifying its indifference
by lack of means, neglects its direct responsibilities – protection
of Christian historic monuments.
