Culture Ministry takes no action to restore ruined cave – environmentalist

Tert.am

The Ministry of Culture has not so far taken any measure to restore the ruined cave of Mozrov, complains Gor Hovhannisyan, an environmentalist dealing with the protection of the natural heritage site in the south of Armenia.

According to him, the Ministry proposes waiting for favorable weather conditions to start the renovation.

“We hope to hear news in a week. The Ministry has asked us to wait, so we are waiting till the season comes,” he told Tert.am.

The Ministry had set up a working group to deal with the renovation back in early April.

Hovhannisyan said that a major collapse in March had caused a stone-fall.

In mid-March, the Armenian youth initiative No Silence had warned in a statement that the Mozrov Cave, which is one of the most marvelous nature monuments on the territory of Armenia, had collapsed.
