Yerevan, 11 August: Armenian archaeologists have launched large-scale
excavations in one of the biggest and well-known settlements of the
pre-Christian period on the territory of Nagornyy Karabakh founded by
Armenian King Tigran II (the Great), Gamlet Petrosyan, head of the
expedition and doctor of history, has told an Arminfo correspondent.
He said the excavations prove that Armenians lived in the valley of
the Khachenaget River in Agdam District in the first century BC. He
said that during the first days of the excavations, the archaeologists
found remains of a citadel wall that belongs to one of the four cities
built by Tigran II - Artsakh's Tigranakert.
It is notable that the stone blocks discovered there are joined
together with the help of the then Hellenic technology or so-called
knots in the form of a martin's tail. The archaeologists are also
excavating barrows and quarters of the city.

historic monuments in Nagornyy Karabakh for three years]
