On December 14, the Committee for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict of the 1999 Second Protocol to the 1954 Hague Convention approved Armenia’s request for international financial support for the preparation of an application to take the “Tatev and Tatev Mets Anapat Monastic Complexes and the Vorotan River Gorge” monument group under the auspices of the mentioned convention.
In 1995, the “Tatev and Tatev Mets Anapat Monastic Complexes and Vorotan River Gorge” monument group was included in the preliminary list of UNESCO World Heritage. The approved grant will simultaneously create all the necessary prerequisites for bringing the monument group to the main list, which is among the upcoming plans.
