    CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS FROM CAFE NEAR GARNI TEMPLE DELIVERED TO BUILDING OF CULTURE MINISTRY

    Construction of a cafe near Garni Temple has seriously discontented
    the public.

    According to Pre-Parliament public interest group, several dozens of
    people visited Garni, collected the debris in bags and delivered it to
    Yerevan leaving the debris near the building of the Culture Ministry.

    Activists threaten with more serious steps unless the construction is
    stopped. Activists Yeghia Nersisyan and Gevorg Safary6an were taken
    to the Police for soiling the territory of the Ministry and then set
    free in 1.5 hour.

    Earlier, Vladimir Poghosyan, the Head of the State Non-Commercial
    Organization Historical-Cultural Musem-Reserve, said that no
    construction would be launched, as the cafe would be consisting of
    tables and chairs only. He said that the menu would be very modest:
    fruits, vegetables, homemade sweet Armenian gata, and the proceeds
    would be investment in preservation of the Temple. Nevertheless,
    the idea of the cafe has aroused public criticism in blogs and
    social media.

    Historical and architectural monument Garni Temple is located near
    the village of Garni. It is the only Pagan and Hellenistic monument
    preserved in the territory of Armenia. The pagan temple of Garni was
    built in the 2nd half of the 1st century. It is supposed that the
    temple was dedicated to Mitra, the God of Sun.
