    EUROPEAN HERITAGE DAYS TO START IN ARMENIA FROM ZVARTNOTS HISTORIC-ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESERVE-MUSEUM

    Sept 07 2006

    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. This year the European Heritage
    Days will officially start on September 21, at Saint Petersburg
    Hermitage museum.

    Armenia will join this European cultural event on September 9,
    with the event to be held at the Zvartnots historic-archaeological
    museum. The European Heritage Days will be held in Armenia under the
    heading "Glance at the Middle Ages."

    As RA Deputy Minister of Culture and Youth Affairs Gagik Gyurjian
    informed journalists at the September 7 press conference, this
    year Armenia will not take part in the events to be held in Saint
    Petersburg. In Gagik Gyurjian's words, the European Heritage Days
    held under the aegis of the European Union since 1999 every year
    from August to November unite 48 country members of the European
    Cultural Convention. Thanks to joint work of 15 years this initiative
    is indisputable success. In his words, only last year 37 thousand
    monuments and sights appeared in the pivot of this All European
    cultural campaign uniting 21 mln 700 thousand citizens who familiarized
    themselves and became witnesses of European cultural values common
    to everybody. The deputy minister said that the first and foremost
    aim of the European Heritage Days is to propagandize tolerance among
    neighboring countries and peoples in order to prevent any kind of
    vandalism and extremist actions. Last year manifestations of vandalism
    and extremism towards Armenian historic-cultural values took place
    in Armenia's neighboring countries, which were condemned by the EU
    member countries.
