Paintings of Saviour Church in Gyumri torn (video)
In the morning, Tigran Hakobyan went to Holy Saviour Church in Gyumri to find three paintings torn down. The author worked on the paintings for eight years. He considers it an act of vandalism and says it was committed on purpose. Holy Saviour Church, one of the symbols of the city, was seriously damaged in the 1988 devastating earthquake and is being restored by the financial assistance of [former Gyumri Mayor] Vardan Ghukasyan and his family. The church was built in the 1960s.
