KHORANASHAT MONASTERY IS CRUMBLING
Tuesday, February 12, 14:06
The Let’s Not Be Silent youth initiative group is warning that
Khoranashat Monastery (XIII) in Armenia’s Tavush region is crumbling.
“Nobody is taking care of the building. The Armenian Government does
not realize how important it is to hand down our historical heritage
to the generations to come. As regards Catholicos of All Armenians
Karekin II, it seems he has no time to care for some monasteries far
in the highlands. What he cares for is his own residence – a new
complex he is building in the center of Yerevan,” the group says.
In the latest issue of its False Values special series, the group
depicts the crumbling monastery against the background of the active
construction of the new residence of the Caholicos.
