Abstract
Since 1965, a long series of initiatives have been realized in Armenia, aimed at the study and preservation of Armenian Cultural Heritage with the Politecnico di Milano acting as a promoter or supporter, guaranteeing a scientific approach and always working in coordination with local authorities, namely the Ministry of Culture. The activities have been designed to respond to the needs that were identified adapting to the possibilities available in a context in continuous evolution (Armenia became independent in 1991 after being part of Soviet Union and is still in the process of improving the legal framework for monuments preservation). For its little dimensions, Armenia is a very interesting case study and this paper, after describing the main cooperation interventions realized, analyzes their characteristics in order to assess strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches adopted and to identify the problems to be addressed and the key factors that would entail the success of eventual future initiatives.
