/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On August 23 Italian restorers will arrive to
Armenia to continue restoration works on the "Birth of Toros Roslin"
fresco of Minas Avetisian.

In 2007 the Armenian government allocated 5 million 578.6 thousand AMD
to restore the fresco of Minas Avetisian , preserved in the territory
of the Gyumri electrotechnical plant.

Thanks to the efforts of the Armenian sculptor living in Florence Vigen
Avetisyan the ministry of culture of Armenia invited professionals
from Palazzo Spinelli Institute of Restoration (Italy) to carry out
necessary works.

Restoration started in summer of 2008. The second phase of works
continued in autumn last year, when the fresco was replaced to the
museum of Minas Avetisian, the village of Jajur.
