Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has sent a condolence message over the passing of Armenian medieval architecture expert Samvel Karapetyan.

The message reads:
“I was deeply grieved to learn of the untimely demise of renowned Armenian historian, expert of medieval architecture, Chairman of the Yerevan Office of the Armenian Architecture Research Foundation Samvel Karapetyan.

Samvel Karapetyan explored and cataloged thousands of exhibits of Armenian architecture located in historical Armenia. His documentary materials represent our country’s rich cultural heritage. We highly appreciate his consistent efforts against the policy of eliminating Armenian monuments in Turkey and Azerbaijan.

I extend my deepest condolences to Samvel Karapetyan’s family and friends.”
