Pashinyan attends consecration of restored 19th-century church in Kirants

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and government ministers attended on Saturday the consecration ceremony of the newly restored 19th-century Holy Trinity Church in Kirants, a village in Tavush Province.

The Holy Trinity Church, built in 1888, has been undergoing government-funded renovation since 2023, with the work completed this year.

A video shared online by the prime minister shows Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport Zhanna Andreasyan and Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Davit Khudatyan, along with local officials and residents, attending the ceremony.

Kirants is a border village in northeastern Armenia, where a section of the international border with Azerbaijan has been successfully delimited.
