Armenian vandalism

21/04/2006

A group of painters visited the Saint Karmravor Church of Ashtarak a couple of days ago. This group painted the historical “Cross-stone” of 11th century and told the person selling candles there that this painting could be washed easily. “Tell your patriarch that Hrach Keshishyan did this”, said the leader of that group. Several days have passed, but they still can’t wash the paintings on the monument. Hrach Keshishyan doesn’t know anything about this violation. The violators just used the name of Mr. Keshishyan to go undercover.
