On October 16, Tatev Revival Project, a program aimed at transformation of Tatev Monastery and surrounding regions into tourist center, is launched.  

The Monastery of Tatev is a 9th century monastery of the Armenian Apostolic Church located in south-east of Armenia, near Tatev village, 280 km far from Yerevan. Translated from old Armenian (grabar) Tatev means “give wings” or “fly”.

The world’s longest 5.7 km ropeway was constructed on this occasion. It is expected to be included in the Guinness Book of Records. Starting October 23, the ropeway will be put into operation.  

Today about 700 guests will gather near Tatev Monastery, including the Armenian leadership.
