Armenian capital, has been
inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The decision was made at
the 40th session of the World Heritage Committee in Turkey.
“What’s important for Armenia is that the site’s inclusion in the
list provides certain guarantees for its preservation,” Vahram Kazhoyan,
Secretary General of Armenian National Commission for UNESCO, told
reporters in Yerevan on July 20, 2016. He said that this becomes more important given the strained relations between Armenia and Turkey.
