RESEARCH CENTER HEAD WELCOMES STATE PROTECTION OF MONUMENTS

`This document has exclusive significance for the preservation of our
national values,’ Hakob Simonyan, head of research scientific center
of historical-cultural heritage, said speaking about the document
adopted by the Armenian government on March 15 in regards to cultural
monuments not subject to alienation.

`The state takes a huge portion of monuments under its
protection. Therefore, they cannot be voluntarily privatized,’ he
said.
