/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan offered his
Ukrainian counterpart Viktor Yushchenko to work for inclusion of Surb
Khach monastery in UNESCO’s world heritage list, UNIAN reports.
"I offered Mr Yushchenko to instruct our Foreign Ministries to
take joint steps for inclusion of Surb Khach in UNESCO’s world
heritage list, like it was done in case with three Armenian churches
in Iran. Surb Khach is one of the greatest Armenian historical
monuments. It’s not only an inseparable part of our culture but is
also Crimea’s pearl," President Sargsyan said.
