value of nature cannot be registered in UNESCO International Heritage
list if it is not presented in the preliminary list of that country.
Turkey has presented Ani's justification as an "outstanding universal
value" according to UNESCO 2-nd, 3-rd and 4-th standards. In
that justification is especially mentioned the great influence of
architectural school of Ani in the region and outside its borders, Ani
as an unique example of Armenian culture, art, architecture, as well
as of military architecture. In the justification of the suggestion
is mentioned that Ani Gagkashen Grigor Lusavorich Church's design,
which was built by architect Trdat in 1001, is greatly influenced by
the temple Zvartnoch design which was built in the middle of 7-th
century, and also many Byzantine Churches can be met which had the
draft influence of Ani's Churches.
