Reconstruction of ancient oil mill adjacent to Tatev monastery will be
completed by autumn 2011, according to restorer architect Amiran
Badishyan.
As he noted during the press tour organized by National
Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia, works on evaluation and area
investigation were organised prior to reconstruction launch. The oil
mill was cleansed of soil it was covered with.
As the architect pointed out, the working mechanism of 18th century
oil mill will be repaired within a year to come, with the final aim of
putting in into operation.
Citing historic data on butter production in Armenia, Amiran Badishyan
noted that in 19th century, Armenia had thrice as much butter mills as
neighboring countries. `Armenians were in possession of all butter
mills in the territory of Georgia and Azerbaijan, having gained
monopoly in butter production business,' he remarked.
