the 1960s and has turned into a reserve.

church by the personal means. There is an issue of repair of the
rough. The works on roof repairing and on placing of doors and windows
are intended to accomplish by the end of the year, after which the
inner furnishing process will start," Mrs. Aghekyan said.
The church will not be subject to architectural change. A
spiritual-educational center is intended to open adjacent to the
building.
