It seems that there is a breakdown in communication between the Holy
See of Etchmiadzin and the Ministry of Culture when it comes to the
preservation of historical monuments in Armenia.
This is the view of the civic organization "We will not be silent".
The group has issued a statement saying that while Etchmiadzin claims
that the Catholicos directed the Ministry's Monuments' Preservation
Agency to compile a list of endangered monuments, the Ministry now
says it never received any such request in writing.
Is someone passing the proverbial buck, asks the group in its
statement.
"It appears that cultural sites in Armenia remain neglected and
destined to self-destruction," says the group.
The young activists have prepared a slideshow of monasteries and
churches in Armenia that are on the brink of ruin.
