It's too bad about the borders being closed or else Armenians could study Ani as well as its surroundings freely. However, I once read an interview by Hetq where they interviewed an American specialist in architecture, and she said that if the border were opened, the "Gyumri mafiosi" are ready to do to Gyumri what has been done to Yerevan (she didn't exactly say it that way, but she probably meant it).
Here it is: http://www.hetq.am/eng/culture/0704-armenia.html
And perhaps those Armenian lobbies in Washington should lobby to have Armenia remove the quarry...
