‘Improvements in legislative fields are a basis that support cultural
heritage, Karine Danielyan, Secretary General on Armenian National
Committee on UNESCO told a seminar on cultural heritage today.

Experts and guests from Iran and Georgia as well as from UNESCO
have arrived to participate in the event. During the seminar the
participants will discuss legislative opportunities enabling to
protect the national heritage to the best possible level on local
and international fields.

The seminar participants will try to find a solution to violations
of cultural items on ethnic grounds. It is up to the point if we take
into consideration that Azeris have destroyed history long khachcars
(cross-stones) in Jugha. All laws are humanistic in all countries,
it is more important how applicable are they, Gurgen Gurjian
said. /Panorama.am/
