The scientific conference entitled “Armenian Architectural Heritage: Tradition and Modernity” was held.

Head of the Science Department Sargis Tovmasyan also made a speech during the scientific conference. “Continuing Mr. Barseghyan’s words, I also wish such conferences to be continuous,” said Mr. Tovmasyan, adding, “After so many years break, it is difficult to organize an event with such content again, but due to the hard work of lecturers and other employees, the scientific conference was held.”

Head of NUACA Chair of Architecture Theory, History and Heritage of  Architecture Emma Harutyunyan also extended her gratitude to all the students and lecturers. “I have high hopes that our students will continue this field, because there are many gaps connected with research and development that need to be filled. The heritage spread all over the world is waiting for you and your studies,” said Mrs. Harutyunyan.
