Hetq has been informed that the questionable tiling of the walls of the Gandzasar Monastery in Artskah has been halted.

The re-facing of the medieval monastery's walls had stirred up a hornet's nest of contention in Artsakh and Armenia.

The retiling had been the brainchild of Russian-Armenian businessman Levon Hayrapetyan.

It appears that once Artsakh Primate Archbishop Barkev Martirosyan had been informed of what was happening, he immediately returned to Gandzasar from Yerevan.
