YEREVAN. - Know Your Country youth initiative continues its campaign 'Clean up ancient sites of modern waste'.

Young activists recently visited Gdevank monasterial complex (10th century) and cleaned up its surroundings of household waste.

Initiative members messaged about inconsolable sate of the historical spot to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

'Holy Etchmiadzin refuses to take under its wing the hundreds of inactive churches throughout Armenia while the Ministry of Culture motivates its aloofness by fiscal shortage,' reads the message.
