    in Lake Van, Yukaribakrachli villagers had applied, to Van Provincial
    Hall and Provincial Department on Culture and Tourism, with a request
    to restore the Varagavank Monastery Complex located in their village.

    And in an interview with Armenian News-NEWS.am's correspondent, the

    Varagavank's restoration will start," the imam had said, stressing
    that those in charge had stated that Varagavank's restoration would
    start in 2012.
