Haykakan Zhamanak: Unknown persons vandalize Surb Khach Chapel in Ijevan
‘Haykakan Zhamanak’ writes that unknown persons committed an act of vandalism in Surb Khach Chapel in Ijevan. They broke and burned the church door and erased the words “Surb Khach” and the name of one of the sponsors that financed the chapel from the records about repair work done in the chapel.
“The reason is still unknown, but obviously it was not an act of hooliganism. Surb Khach Chapel is two kilometers from the city and the road to it is difficult to traverse. In other words, it was a premeditated crime, rather than ordinary hooliganism, while the person who committed it has some problems with the church or the sponsor who financed the chapel’s reconstruction,” the daily says.
