NORAVANK WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 26, NOYAN TAPAN. In 2008 the experts of UNESCO will
arrive in Armenia for already the third time in order to explore the
Noravank monastic complex with the 500 hectare territory surrounding
it, which includes Gnishiki gorge, Areni church, chapels, caves, flora
and fauna.
According to the information provided to a Noyan Tapan correspondent by
Gagik Gyurjian, the RA Deputy Minister of Culture, the Noravank
monastic complex was awarded with the attention of the UNESCO's
Commission on the Protection of Cultural Heritage and in case of the
existence of certain standards, it will enter the world cultural
heritage list.
In his words, the issue on the inclusion of the monument in the
register of that authoritative structure has already been put for the
discussion of the UNESCO's commission twice, however, it has not been
heard since there have been certain documentary and technical
inaccuracies. And since monuments are presented for being included in
the register of the world cultural heritage once in two years, in the
next 2008 year the experts will again arrive in Armenia and will
explore the whole territory with the assistance of the local
specialists, after which the issue will be discussed by the commission
of the UNESCO.
