YEREVAN (PanARMENIAN.Net) — Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports of Armenia Zhanna Andreasyan announced that it is planned to include the Garni Temple, the Stone Symphony, and Urartian heritage in Yerevan on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

“For the first time in 29 years, we’ve added a new site to the UNESCO Tentative List — the dragon stones and cultural landscape of Tirin Katar. We will have two more monuments on that list,” Andreasyan said, as reported by Armenpress on June 9.

She noted that after a long hiatus, Armenia is actively working to inscribe its monuments on the World Heritage List.

According to the minister, the initiative is supported through budget allocations and consistent institutional efforts.
