    "Iran as well can register lavash in UNESCO list of intangible cultural
    heritage," said the head of the cultural value registration department
    of Iran Cultural Heritage, Handcrafts and Tourism Organization,
    Farhad Nazari, as it is reported by .

    Note that RA Deputy Minister of Culture, Arev Samuelyan, during a
    press conference, on December 23, 2013 declared that the art of making
    lavash can be included in UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list.

    After the statement was published, the Iranian mass media, particularly
    IRNA, ISNA and taqnab.ir websites actively started to cover the
    lavash issue.

    An Iranian researcher, culture specialist Masoumeh Ebrahimi, and the
    Council member of the Center for the Great Islamic Encyclopedia of
    Iran Ali Bolukbasi referred to the lavash issue in their interview
    with IRNA news agency and noted that lavash is one of the traditional
    types of Iranian bread and that Armenia being influenced by Iranian
    culture took the art of making lavash from Iran.

    The head of the cultural value registration department of Iran
    Cultural Heritage, Handcrafts and Tourism Organization, Farhad Nazari
    referring to the issue, particularly noted, "The fact that Armenia
    wants to register lavash in UNESCO doesn't mean that Iran cannot do
    that. There are a vast number of cultural values that are common in
    different countries. Lavash is an Armenian word and Armenia is the
    motherland of lavash."
