Celebration at the Zvartnots Historical-Cultural Reserve-Museum: "Me Keff, Me Urakhut'yun"

Recently, there has been joy and celebration at the territory of the Zvartnots historical-cultural reserve-museum, as some people are celebrating the baptism of their children. It is wonderful that they have baptized their children, but who said that after the baptism, the tables for celebration should be set right in front of a 7th-century monument, writes Shamshyan.com.

The media outlet notes that it has become a trend among this community in recent years to celebrate their events, such as engagements, weddings, birthdays, and baptisms, in the areas of historical and architectural monuments, which are brands for our country. There are many educated ways to present these monuments to the world rather than organizing celebrations. The entertainers are not less recognized - not everyone can perform at such celebrations, for example, Sosо Pavliashvili.

"It is interesting to ask if there are any established criteria regarding the rental of spaces, what specific rules should be followed by renters. Have these rules been followed or not? We direct our question to the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport: are you aware of how much money is paid for the respective event when signing a contract? If yes, publish how much money has entered the budget of your subordinate structure and where it will be directed. Clarify whether it is permissible to hold a dance concert inside the arches of a temple that already has serious preservation issues, if it could have been done outside. What kind of music is permitted to be played during such events? As far as we are aware, it should be classical, but in the video, there is music of every style, besides classical.

Are extremely loud sound effects and high music permissible in the areas of the monuments? Do they not damage the monument? Is it permissible to have fireworks over the temple? SHAMSHYAN.com expects clarification from the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sport and the "Service for the Protection of Cultural Monuments and Historical Environment" regarding these questions," the publication states.
