    RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited the ancient site of Karmir
    Blur to get a first-hand view of those problems associated with the
    maintenance and preservation of the monument. Earlier this year,
    the government's control service established that 40 hectares of the
    territory was covered by construction waste, while 1.5 hectares were
    occupied by the nearest graveyard.

    Erebuni historical-archeological museum director Dr Gagik Gurdjian
    briefed the Prime Minister on the problems encountered and the
    current state of Karmir Blur by stressing that while excavations are
    at standstill due to the current state of affairs, the site continues
    to be of great interest to archeologists as the Teishebaini castle,
    built in the VI century B.C., has reached us intact.

    What will the site's future day be like and what has to be done in
    order to revive the site? To find a response to these questions,
    the Prime Minister called a first consultative meeting on the spot
    involving the Mayor of Yerevan, the Minister of Culture and other
    public stakeholders. During the meeting, cemetery and museum boundaries
    were reported to have been delimited already.

    At the end of his working visit, Tigran Sargsyan informed the news
    reporters that a strategic program will be out over the few months
    to come enabling the preservation of historical heritage and making
    it more attractive for tourists." The Prime Minister added that in
    cooperation with the Asian Bank, a motor-road will be built along
    the border of the ancient settlement to enhance its attractiveness
    in the eyes of travelers.
