Our oligarchs can even buy churches because some of them are subject
for alienation. Today the government approved the list of monuments
which are not subject for alienation. Out of 24132 monuments, 18935
are not subject for alienation.

Hasmik Poghosyan, minister of culture and youth affairs, said
those churches that may be used after reconstruction are subject
for alienation.

No legal act defines on what conditions and to whom the monuments
may be alienated. In the words of Poghosyan, these issues will be
solved on contract basis. She promised that the churches may not be
alienated to religious sects. The minister confessed that the state
is not able to take care of so many monuments.
