Armenian Letter-Art Inscribed in UNESCO’s List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity

«Ճանաչել զիմաստութիւն եւ զխրատ, իմանալ զբանս հանճարոյ» (To know wisdom and instruction, to understand the words of insight) — this sentence from the Proverbs of Solomon was the first sentence written in the Armenian alphabet. From the official Facebook page of the Armenian National Commission for UNESCO, we learn that Armenian letter-art and its cultural expressions have been included in UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Since 1992, Armenia has been a member of UNESCO, and for the first time has presented its candidacy to join UNESCO’s Executive Board for the period 2021-2025.

New Cross Consecrated at Karmir Vank in the Neutral Zone of Haykadzor, a Border Village with Turkey (Photo) — Shirak Governor Nazeli Baghdasaryan, along with representatives of the regional administration and the acting head of the Ani community, Arman Saribekyan, attended on 21 January the consecration ceremony of a new cross at Karmir Vank, the Church of St. Gregory the Illuminator, located in the neutral zone of Haykadzor, a village bordering Turkey. The cross was consecrated by the head of the Shirak Diocese, Archbishop Mikayel Ajapahyan, after which it was placed on the dome of the monastery through the efforts of the residents of Haykadzor. The church had been deprived of its cross in 2015 due to strong winds. The dome and cross of the church, which has endured many trials but remained standing, had been damaged in the 1990s, during the years of independence, when Turkey had already closed the border with Armenia. According to records, the initiator of the church’s construction was Bishop Sargis, the head of Horomos Monastery. It was built by the architect Samehan between 980 and 985.
