monastery of Tatev will make up about 13 mln USD, Vanik Vardanyan,
Head of the Tatev Revival Project of the National Competitiveness
Foundation of Armenia, told journalists on Friday.
According to him, the ropeway will be launched on October 16. "We have
planned a festive ribbon-cutting ceremony for this date, and a great
number of guests from abroad will attend it. By that date we'll also
set ready the road leading the monastery from Yerevan-Meghri highway.
Its total length is 26 km. Part of the road will be coated with
asphalt, the rest will be subsurfaced. In the future we shall
implement other projects under the Tatev Revival Project, which will
include renovation of the monastery of Tatev and rehabilitation of the
medieval university in its territory",- he said.
To note, several days ago a vegetable oil press of XVII century was
found in the territory of the monastery. "We are going to include it
in the tourism products to be offered to Tatev visitors",- he said.
To recall, the total value of the Tatev Revival Project is about 22-23
mln USD. The main sponsor of the project is the Ruben & Veronika
Vardanyans Friends' Fund.
