ConCLUSionbecause of their timeless beauty, and the idea of peace which they promote, five of our monasteries and three of our churches have been added to the list of UneSCo World Heritage Sites.in 1963 the fresco of “White angel” was selected to be part of the first satellite signal transfer between europe and america, and several years later the same satellite emission was sent to the outer space, because it was believed that if rational life forms had existed in outer space, this message would have been understood as a message of peace and understanding.every nation should nurture its cultural and historical heritage as they are not only that people’s treasure but a treasure of all of the mankind.
