THREE IS A GOOD NUMBER: MAY BE WE WILL BE LUCKY THIS TIME

''Monuments of common human value are in the list of world heritage of UNESCO. If in the past only objects were in the list, now it includes environment, landscapes, that is, it does not limit itself only to monuments,’’ Gagik Giurjyan, deputy minister of culture told Panorama.am reporter.

He said years ago they submitted Gnishikadzor valley cultural landscape but the application was refused twice. “In case any new monument is to be included in the list, UNESCO sends its specialists to study the state of the monument. The first time, the found some deficiencies in the documents. After corrections, we submitted again. This time they found some technical issues that were connected with the development of the area,” Giurjyan said. The issue of including Gnishikadzor valley cultural landscape in the world heritage list of UNESCO will be discussed for the third time in 2008.
