Monasteries of Sanahin preserved from 10-12 centuries are under
danger. The flora growing on the roofs of the monasteries is destroying
the historical building.
They have not been cleaned for nine years and trees are already
growing on the roofs. Specialists are needed to clean the roofs since
any casual action might cause the final ruin of the complex. The
Monasteries of Sanahin are supposed to be protected by UNESCO.
All-Armenian Catholicos visited Sanahin last year but still no works
are carried out to restore the Monastery. Thousands of tourists visit
Sanahin to enjoy architectural and scientific as well as cultural
importance of the Monastery.
