    YEREVAN.-Chairman of the foundation studying Armenian architecture
    Samvel Karapetyan summed up his organization's work during a meeting
    with journalists on Thursday.

    The expert said they had organized ÅxpeditionÓ to Armenian communities
    of Iran in May and June. Karapetyan also mentioned the expeditions to
    Shirak, Lori and Tavush regions organized within the framework of
    "SOS-Culture" program.

    Speaking about Armenian monuments abroad, the expert said monuments
    are vulnerable to destruction in Azerbaijan, pointing out the
    destroyed Armenian cemetery in Jugha.

    Turkey, on the contrary, is restoring historic monuments for political
    purposes. As to Georgia, the monuments are neither destroyed nor
    renovated, except for Surb Nshan church in Tbilisi.

    The expeditions to Armenia's north revealed that monasteries in Dsegh
    and Pemzashen villages are in need of repair.
