ARMENIAN MONUMENTS

On November 17, 2020, with participation of local and international journalists, a final pilgrimage to St. Minas church in Hak village, Northern Kashatagh was held. The 17th century church had been restored in 2009 by Tufenkian Foundation with a grant from Virginia Davies. Ms. Davies was among the pilgrims who gathered in St. Minas and shared her thoughts with the pilgrims expressing a deep concern about the possible desecration, destruction and erasure of Armenian cultural heritage at the hands of Azerbaijans as had been done by Turkey in the aftermath of the 1915 genocide.

On her return to NYC together with Antranig Kasbarian and Chris Parnagian and in cooperation with the Prelacy, the Save Armenian Monuments (SAM) was launched.

The mission of the SAM is to preserve, remember and defend Armenian heritage in the Caucasus. These monuments establish that these lands now under Azeri control are historic Armenian homelands. The project will liaison with others to preserve the physical existence of the monuments; advocate for and exercise the human right to worship; and teach Armenians, diasporan Armenians, especially our young people, and the broader community about our historic homelands. Initial initiatives will include a pilgrimage to Artsakh; educational toys for young diasporan children to learn about the sites now under Azeri control and a partnership to preserve and make more broadly accessible reservoirs of information about the sites. Save Armenian Monuments was launched by Virginia Davies and Ms Sue Aramian, businesswoman and philanthropist.

It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing.
