Icons embellishing the chapel known as the Vank (cathedral) or the Chgnavor (a hermit) have been broken and scattered across the building. The scribe of the town’s Holy Cross church, Nair Melikyan, posted pictures from the scene on Facebook on Saturday, November 2, but the youth have already cleaned the chapel. The 13th century establishment was given a status of a monument of tangible cultural heritage in 2018.
