    Today a meeting was held covering Armenian archeology and the problems
    in the field presented to the journalists by the director of Institute
    of Archeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences Pavel
    Avetisyan. "Historical-Cultural heritage of Armenia, in particular
    monuments are in danger, and their examination is a major issue. Each
    country and society should pay attention and deal with the problem,"
    said Avetisyan and added that it has much to do with the tourism also
    as there is no tourism if there is no cultural heritage.

    According to P. Avetisyan after the collapse of Soviet Union scientific
    institutions were broken down but the Institute of Archeology and
    Ethnography was one of those few ones which kept its potential and
    work. In 2007 the institute received support from the State budget
    and manaed to conduct 29 field excavations.

    The director of the institute signified working experience with some
    international organizations in those excavations. P Avetisyan talked
    about the excavations and their results and said that in Artashat
    they found out the lost temple of Artashat and bathrooms in it. The
    archeologist said that they conducted excavations in Areni and found
    a monument there.
