    A NUMBER OF ARMENIAN MONUMENTS MAY BE INCLUDED IN UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE LIST

    Armenia is going to apply to UNESCO to include several Armenian
    monuments in the World Heritage List, Armenian Culture Minister Hasmik
    Poghosyan told ArmInfo.

    However, the minister failed to specify the monuments and said that
    the list is not approved finally yet. In addition, UNESCO experts will
    visit Armenia to study the monuments on the spot. Poghosyan recalled
    the case with Noravank Monastery. Several years ago UNESCO refused to
    consider the application on including Noravank in the World Heritage
    List because of the restaurant adjacent to the monastery.

    The final package of applications, which will also include the Blue
    Mosque in Yerevan, will be submitted to UNESCO by late 2013.

    To note, Geghard Monastery, Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, Zvartnots,
    Haghpat and Sanahin Monasteries are on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

    The Armenian national epic "David of Sassoun", art of khachkars
    (cross-stones) and music of duduk are on the list of intangible
    cultural heritage.
