YEREVAN, JUNE 21, ARMENPRESS: The entrance of Mozrov Cave has closed
this March, Marine Avanesyan, representative of "Historical Environment
and Historical-Cultural Museum Preserves Protection Service" NCSO of
the Ministry of Culture of Armenia told Armenpress.
Mozrov Cave has been close to the visitors from the very beginning,
as this cave, opened still in 1980s, has had no routes, enabling to
use the monument for purpose of tourism.
"Despite that, some adventurers, ignoring the risk, organized
expeditions, which has been periodically registered by the employees
of "Historical Environment and Historical-Cultural Museum Preserves
Protection Service" NCSO and prevented," said Mrs Avanesyan.
But during professional studies in the territory of the cave it was
found out that stones fell from the vault of the entrance part of the
cave, creating a slide of the ground. It was also found out that the
cave, in general, is not under risk, but some part of the entrance
has become emergency due to geological and climate conditions.
"Taking into consideration the conclusion of the specialists and the
circumstance that very often ordinary citizens and lovers of extreme
tourism try to enter into the cave the board of the NCSO adopted a
decision to close the entrance of the cave to prevent and rule out
the casualties.
A comprehensive plan on the use of Mozrov Cave is now being worked
out. The plan will be submitted to the Ministry of Culture, after which
"Historical Environment and Historical-Cultural Museum Preserves
Protection Service" NCSO will undertake implementation of complex
measures.
