In frame of the working visit to Tavush province on April 26, Chairman of Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), President Serzh Sargsyan familiarized himself with the repair works of Varagavanq monastery complex.
With the agreement reached between the Culture Ministry of Armenia and philanthropist Norayr Khachatryan, the Culture Ministry is committed to provide the entire information on the monument, the documentary materials and projects free of charge. Within the frameworks of the cooperation a repair project has already been designed by architect Mary Danielyan. The project has already been discussed and approved by the ministry. The repair of the Church of the Holy Virgin will need about 120 million drams, and will be funded by the philanthropist.
