It is called ‘’ANİ RUINS’’ and it has world’s cultural beauty hidden in it.

These ruins consist of mosques and churches and old monuments which will provide the young people with having opportunities to integrate with one another’s religion, which means that this Project is also going to be a cultural and religious dialogues among young people.

ANI is an ancient city and it exsist over 5000 years. Ani contains mosques, churches and a cathedral. As you can imagine its a multi-culturalplace. 

But in these days, Ani is not protected enough and the ruins are about to be destroyed. Our aim is to draw attention of the local people and authorities to Ani and support Ani's survival. We are planning to achieve our goal by makingworkshops.
