Sargsyan: Surb Khach monastery should be included in UNESCO world heritage list
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan offered his Ukrainian counterpart Viktor Yushchenko to work for inclusion of Surb Khach monastery in UNESCO's world heritage list, UNIAN reports.
"I offered Mr Yushchenko to instruct our Foreign Ministries to take joint steps for inclusion of Surb Khach in UNESCO's world heritage list, like it was done in case with three Armenian churches in Iran. Surb Khach is one of the greatest Armenian historical monuments. It's not only an inseparable part of our culture but is also Crimea's pearl," President Sargsyan said.
