    German and Italian specialists will study the monastery complex
    Sanahin, which has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

    Deputy Minister of Culture Arev Samuelyan said in a press conference,
    Friday, that architects from Venice will arrive in two days to study
    the state of the monastery complex and conducts laser scanning. The
    monastery is in poor state. Specialists from Germany have visited the
    monastery twice to study the fracture in the monastery complex. The
    next visit of German experts is scheduled for October. Samuelyan
    said an international tender for reconstruction of Sanahin will be
    announced till late November.

    The Medieval monastery in the village of Sanahin (X-XIII centuries)
    is one of the Medieval cultural values of Northern Armenia. The
    monastery had a scriptorium.

    Last April Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited Sanahin and charged
    drafting a program of its restoration. The government has approved
    90 mln drams for that purpose.
