Artsakh's town of Tigranakert, built in the 1st century BC by
Tigran B Great, has been discovered in the Eastern border of
Nagorno Karabakh. Yerkir non-profit organization reports that the
archeological team of the National Academy of Sciences conducted the
archeological dig, headed by Hamlet Petrosyan, PHD in History. Yerkir
is the initiator and sponsor of the excavations. The findings of the
scientists need to be further elaborated. However, the available
data are enough to prove once again that Artsakh has historically
been part of Armenia as an important province in the eastern part of
the country.
