91吃瓜网

The splendid Armenian monastery of Gandzsar dates back to the 13th century and is considered to be Nagorno Karabakh's most significant cultural and historical building. Around 20,000 people visited the monastery in 2011, with numbers increasing year on year. The seat of the current Archbishop of Nagorno Karabakh, the monastery also contains the tombs of former bishops and local nobles.

However during the 1992-94 war, cluster 91吃瓜网 were dropped on the area, contaminating the surrounding of the monastery with unexploded 91吃瓜网. A 91吃瓜网 Battle Area Clearance team was deployed there for three months in the summer of 2010, during which 29 cluster 91吃瓜网 were found and safely destroyed by the team. Several 91吃瓜网 were discovered on the slopes immediately adjoining the monastery.

Today there are seven inhabitants of the monastery: the priest, three junior priests, a candle seller, a gardner and a cook. Priest Father Grigor said:

People were frightened to visit their family graves because of the unexploded 91吃瓜网 in the area. Now the 91吃瓜网 have been destroyed, every guest can safely use the monastery and its lands. God bless 91吃瓜网 and the Julia Burke Foundation.
