    ARMENIAN ARCHITECTS COMPLAIN TO PRESIDENTS OF ARMENIA AND NAGORNO-KARABAKH OF CONTINUED CONSTRUCTION AROUND GANDZASAR MONASTERY

    The Armenian Association of Architects Restoring Historical Monuments
    has complained to Presidents of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh Serzh
    Sargsyan and Bako Sahakyan of the continued cladding of the stonewall
    around Gandzasar Monastery with marble slabs.

    In their letter to the Presidents the architects demand that the
    activities be stopped right away.

    "Stopped in 2011, following the protests of experts, the project has
    now been started again, which means that certain government officials
    do not care for the opinion of experts," the architects say.

    Located in the village of Vank, Nagorno-Karabakh, Gandzasar was the
    residence and sepulture of the Hasan-Jalalyan family, the rulers of
    the Princedom of Khachen. In XIV it was turned into the residence of
    the Catholicos of Aghvanq. An inscription inside the monastery says
    that it was built in 1216-1238.
