Monuments in Nagorno-Karabakh region left unattended
21:30 – 20.04.13
Many historical-cultural monuments in Nagorno-Karabakh’s Kashatagh
region are in a dire need of protection, an editor of a local
publication has said in Yerevan.
`Thousands of historical monuments in the region are the best evidence
that the territory is Armenian. So our demand is to have them at least
reinforced,’ Zohrap Erkoyan, the editor-in-chief of the Meran
newspaper, told a news conference on Saturday.
The best monument, he said, is the Varazgom monastery, a 9th century
construction that needs renovation.
`Besides, there are 18th century churches which also need repairs,’ he
said, adding that the region also has rock carved churches whose
repairs require very small costs.
