Every year on 18 April, the International Council on Monuments and
Sites (ICOMOS) celebrates the "International Day for Monuments and
Sites", whose establishment was approved by the 22nd UNESCO General
Conference in 1983. In 2013, the theme is Heritage of Education
(schools, universities, libraries, academies, etc.) in its expressions
in different geo-cultural contexts.
The aim of the International Day for Monuments and Sites is to
encourage local communities and individuals throughout the world
to consider the importance of cultural heritage to their lives,
identities and communities, and to promote awareness of its diversity
and vulnerability and the efforts required to protect and conserve it.
The protection of monuments does not always depend on money, said
Samvel Karapetyan, President of the Research on Armenian Architecture
Fund. According to him, more important are the moral features of the
nation, the minimal respect and good taste. The expert said he does
not see a careful attitude towards monuments in Armenia today.
Samvel Karapetyan said he would like to be the Minister
of Education for just five minutes. He would use the time to
instruct the headmasters of all general schools to organize trips
to historical-cultural sites, as he's confident indifference and
lack of attitude are to blame for the poor condition of monuments in
our country.
