Today a meeting was held covering Armenian archeology and the problems
in the field presented to the journalists by the director of Institute
of Archeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences Pavel
Avetisyan. "Historical-Cultural heritage of Armenia, in particular
monuments are in danger, and their examination is a major issue. Each
country and society should pay attention and deal with the problem,"
said Avetisyan and added that it has much to do with the tourism also
as there is no tourism if there is no cultural heritage.
According to P. Avetisyan after the collapse of Soviet Union scientific
institutions were broken down but the Institute of Archeology and
Ethnography was one of those few ones which kept its potential and
work. In 2007 the institute received support from the State budget
and manaed to conduct 29 field excavations.
The director of the institute signified working experience with some
international organizations in those excavations. P Avetisyan talked
about the excavations and their results and said that in Artashat
they found out the lost temple of Artashat and bathrooms in it. The
archeologist said that they conducted excavations in Areni and found
a monument there.
