ArmInfo. Over 7.9 bln AMD will be budgeted for Armenian Culture
Ministry in 2010 as against 8.3 bln AMD in 2009.
Armenian Culture Minister Hasmik Poghosyan said at today's
press-conference that the budget reduction will not affect
implementation of a number of big projects. In particular, the project
on reconstruction and re-equipment of libraries in Yerevan and regions
of Armenia will be continued. A total of 360 mln AMD will be allocated
for the overhaul of the National Library and the Children's Library
after Khnko Aper. In 2010 technical re-equipment of theaters will be
in the focus of Culture Ministry's attention. Certain funds will be
spent on the performance of the opera "Aida". Over 612 mln AMD will be
allocated for film- making. The decline in budgetary funds mostly
affected protection and restoration of cultural and art monuments. A
total of 318.9 mln AMD are budgeted for this sphere. Despite the
decline in means, private organizations' projects on studying Armenian
cultural and art monuments abroad will be financed by the state budget
2010. Moreover, the monuments being in a critical state will also be
in the focus of the Ministry's attention. According to the minister,
over the previous years there were some problems with elaboration of
projects on restoration of monuments, as well as with organization of
the restoration work. To remove these shortcomings, an organization
headed by the former director of Erebuni Museum Ashot Piliposyan has
been set up to retrain personnel and work out projects on restoration
of monuments.
