The French France 2 television on Thursday broadcast a thirty-minute
film, which was shot this summer in Armenia and devoted to the art
and tradition of Armenian cross-stones.

Renowned French scholars, historians, and arts and craftsmen

the film has episodes where a call is made toward preserving
cross-stones and with respect to the destruction of Armenian
cross-stones and cemeteries in Nakhichevan.
