The conference on: “Conservation/Restoration Problems of the Cultural-Historical Heritage in Central Asia. An Approach to the Development of a Regional Strategy”
has outlined the following issues on the conservation/restoration of cultural heritage in the region of Central Asia:
1. Preservation of cultural heritage in the region and the development of art culture, depend on the solution of the problems concerning the conservation/restoration of artifacts, in the countries of Central Asia.
2. Conservation/Restoration problems, in a contemporary world, must be solved on the basis of a cultural integration of the Central Asian countries.
3. Modern experience, in the sphere of conservation/restoration, represents highly developed and up-to-date scientific knowledge and research in the area of new methods and technologies.
