UNESCO will hold a meeting next week to select new items, among them

the Armenian epic poem `David of Sassoun', for the Representative List

of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

 

The seventh session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the

Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage will take place in

Paris from 3 to 7 December.

 

The agenda of the session included the examination of almost 60 nominations.

 

Last year the Armenian khachkar - `Armenian cross-stones art.

Symbolism and craftsmanship of Khachkars' - was included in the Lists

of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
