The civic group “We will not be silent” has issued an appeal to young
activists to plaster the steel walls surrounding the construction
site of the St. Anna Church and Yerevan residence of the Catholicos
in downtown Yerevan with photos of Armenian religious monuments that
are facing destruction due to the neglect by the church and secular
leaders.

The group says the fate of these historic monuments is in peril because
neither the Armenian Apostolic Church nor the government is willing to
take responsibility and that each is accusing the other of negligence.

Those wishing to download photos of such churches and monuments are
urged to write to chenlrelu@gmail.com.

The construction site in question is located at the intersection of
Sayat-Nova and Abovyan Streets.
