UNESCO will hold a meeting next week to select new items, among them
the Armenian epic poem `David of Sassoun’, for the Representative List
of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The seventh session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the
Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage will take place in
Paris from 3 to 7 December.

The agenda of the session included the examination of almost 60 nominations.

Last year the Armenian khachkar – `Armenian cross-stones art.
Symbolism and craftsmanship of Khachkars’ – was included in the Lists
of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
