The U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) supported conservation efforts at the Yereruyk Basilica, one of Armenia’s earliest Christian monuments.
The 4th-5th century Armenian church near the village of Anipemza in the Shirak region exemplifies Armenia’s early Christian architecture and rich historical heritage. In 2023, AFCP supported efforts to conserve and preserve the site, along with work to re-establish its historical environment.
