    YEREVAN. - Together with Haghpat Monastery, Sanahin Monastic Complex
    is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list, and the Government
    of Armenia allocated 300 million drams (approx. $719,937) for its
    restoration.

    Mkrtich Minasyan, Head of the Union of Architects of Armenia, noted
    the abovementioned during a press conference on Saturday.

    `A daily attention should be paid so we may prolong the life of the
    monuments. But all monuments need daily attention, especially when the
    state does not have so much money,' Minasyan added.

    In his words, the proprietors need to take good care of the monuments.

    He also stressed that PM Tigran Sargsyan is interested that the
    restoration is carried out in the best way possible.
