Information campaign on preservation, use and promotion of historical  and cultural monuments held in Armenia

ArmInfo.Information campaign on conservation, use and propaganda held in Armenia  monuments of history and culture. The event was attended by the  Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Republic of  Armenia Araik Harutyunyan and Deputy Minister Narine Tukhikyan, who  distributed envelopes with booklets to residents of buildings of  cultural and historical significance.

"One of the ideas of our ministry is to inform our citizens about  their rights and obligations regarding monuments, and today we are  taking a symbolic step. A letter in an envelope informs citizens that  they live in a monument and informs them about their rights and  obligations related to with the building. Too often we are faced with  a situation where citizens simply don't know what to do with this  monument and what steps to take during construction, transformations  that often lead to the destruction of these monuments.  Now we will  knock on the door ., And report to our citizens where they live We  also encourage volunteers to join the project, as thousands of houses  have to go through these envelopes, and we believe that it will  fundamentally change the situation with the monumental buildings, "-  the minister told reporters.  The Deputy Minister of Education and  Science of the Republic of Armenia Narine Tukhikyan added that the  process was started from the communities, a campaign was carried out  in 3 provinces - Syunik, Ararat and Vayots Dzor. "Now we are also  working on legislative changes and are trying to tighten sanctions in  the relevant laws. The help of civil society in this matter will be  very necessary, we must preserve the existing monuments, we have no  other choice, this is our story," she said.

However, we note that, according to information available to ArmInfo,  Armenian TV channels refused the project proposed by specialists in  notification of cultural monuments and history of the country. In  particular, the refusal was received under a project in which it was  planned to present the cultural and historical heritage of the city  of Gyumri.
