  1. Wonder why all these places were abandoned. No attempt to save them, give them "historic place" status; not even save artifacts. We need to save our heritage more than we need to be planning to live on an uninhabitable planet like Mars. We've lost our bearings; everybody is concentrating on racism, war, drugs, sex......we're not progressing; we're regressing.

    1. Thank you for comment.Agree and i think we are regressing for a long,long time.In this case,i can only guess it`s going on because Armenia is poor country and that they simple don`t have enough of money to solve this.Anyway,such a historical and culturally is to much valuable and that is not only national treasure of Armenia then and of whole world.
