YEREVAN (YERKIR) – Participants of a conference held in Stepanakert to
celebrate the 1600th anniversary of the Armenian alphabet and the
establishment of the first Armenian school in Karabakh sent a letter
to the UNESCO secretary general, Armenpress reported.

The letter, in part, asks the UNESCO to take the Amaras School founded
in Karabakh in 405, under its protection and establish there a
regional scientific and educational center. “We believe that
establishment of such center would greatly contribute to the
enhancement of the educational system and settlement of the ethnic
conflicts in the region.”
