The ruins of Ani have been presented to the list of historical
monuments to be included in UNESCO's World Heritage list, a Turkish
official has said.
Speaking to the Turkish news agency Anadolu, Hakan Doghanay, the head
of the tourism department in Kars province administration, said that
Turkish authorities spent much effort over the issue.
`And if Ani is included in that list, it will take its place also in
the cognitive films shot by the World Tourism Organization,' said he.
`This in turn will boost tourism growth in Kars. Based on today's
figures the number of tourists visiting Ani has grown by 27%,' said
Doganay.
Further, he went on to say that Ani mostly attracts tourists from
France, Britain and Japan.
According to Doganay, Turkish authorities have renovated the Church of
Tigran Honetsi which is also located in Ani and is considered a key
praying area for Christians.
