Representatives of Armenia's inbound tourism and civil society continue a nearly two-month complaint against a government decree by which more than 60 monuments will be transferred to Yerevan from outlying provinces.
On September 13, the government granted permission to Armenia's History Museum "to transfer to Yerevan 'immovable' historical and cultural monuments" at its own expense to display in a temporary exhibition titled Time to Assemble the Stones "under the condition of returning them to their original places at the end of exhibition in September 2016". So far 40 monuments – stone crosses, tomb stones, a Dragon stone dating to 3rd-2nd cc BCE, 16th century sundial and other steles – have been brought to Yerevan from Aragatsotn, Tavush, Kotayk, Syunik, Vayots Dzor, Lori and Shirak provinces.
