Tourists to pay for seeing Stone Symphony?
11:10 - 22.08.11
A certain Hrant Hambartsumyan demands AMD 2,000 (about $6) from the
tourists wishing to visit the Stone Symphony monument in Garni.
Environmentalists sent a letter and a video to Tert.am.
The monument has been turned into a dump, and individuals demand money
from tourists wishing to visit the monument that is protected by the
government. "The ministries in charge must respond," says the letter.
Aware of their rights, the tourists refused to pay. However, Mr.
Hambartsumyan demands that the tourists leave their food. "If you take
food, then you do not visit the monument, but plan a rest. You must
pay for that," he says. He also says that he cleans the territory free
of charge.
