/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Sulamain-Too Sacred Mountain of Kyrgyzstan has
become the country's first site to be inscribed on UNESCO's World
Heritage List. Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System, Bridges, dams,
canals, buildings and watermills from ancient time to present (Iran)
and the Royal Tombs of the Joseong Dynasty (Republic of Korea) were
also added to the List.
The World Heritage Committee meeting in Seville for its 33rd session,
chaired by Maria Jesus San Segundo, Ambassador and Permanent Delegate
of Spain to UNESCO, will continue inscribing sites and examining the
state of properties already inscribed over coming days. It remains
in session until 30 June.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and
preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world
considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied in
an international treaty called the Convention concerning the Protection
of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.
