YEREVAN. – The hand and head of the statue of Goddess Anahit are kept in a museum in Great Britain. And Education and Science Minister Armen Ashotyan has proposed to transfer them to Armenia, Azg daily writes.    

“[Parliamentary opposition] Heritage Party Board Secretary Karine Hakobyan believes instead of transferring these remains, they must be given an Armenian ‘passport’ and be displayed in Great Britain’s museum, not as a work of the general Hellenistic Section, but rather as a work of Armenian Hellenistic Art. ‘Twenty years have passed since our country’s independence, but over the course of that time the authorities did not become aware of the role of cultural policy.’ And cultural policy is also indispensable in terms of representing Armenian culture in the world’s museums, which is not being done today,” Azg writes.
