    It is the 3rd time that the Italian experts are coming to Armenia on
    August 19 for restoring the fresco of Minas Avetisyan called "Birth
    if Toros Roslin", Arman Avetisyan the son of the painter and director
    of the museum of Minas Avetisyan told Aysor.am.

    "This time the last works of the restoring of the fresco are being
    done, the fresco will be put in Jajur museum", - informed A. Avetisyan.

    As the director of the museum says, after the restoring works the
    opening of the fresco will take place. A. Avetisyan didn't want to
    mention the exact day, as it depends on the restoring process.

    One year ago the fresco was transferred to Jajur museum.

    "As a result of transformation the damage was 12% only and normally
    the damage is considered normal if it is about 25-28%", - explained
    A. Avetisyan.

    A. Avetisyan also mentioned that the restoration process was financed
    by RA Ministry of Culture; it is also supported by the Italian Embassy
    of Armenia.

    On the territory of Armenia there are 11 frescos the great part of
    which is in the region of Gyumry and the villages of Shirak region. The
    restoring of these frescos is also in agenda, but as the speaker said
    they need to carry out a new program for the realization of that works.

    He also mentioned that the restoring process needs a lot of money
    especially if the experts are invited from abroad. He informed that
    the restoring of the other frescos is trusted on Armenian experts.

    As for the new program it is needed not only for choosing the experts
    correctly, but also for the means that the restoring process is
    possible to implement.

    "A new field of financing is needed to be found. Though the great
    part of financing the Armenian Government will take on itself, privet
    businessmen are also needed to take the part of it."

    The Italian experts will leave Armenia on August 30. They have
    asked to tour around Armenia for 2 or 3 days as the Armenian culture
    interests them.
