Palace of Stepanakert. It presents the first year's work of Tigranakert

with discovery of Troya," archeologist Hamlet Petrosian, the head of
Tigranakert excavations expedition, said mentioning that it is not only
a scientific, an academic research, but also a research "containing
some elements of adventure." "Tigranakert's greatest success will be

financial assistance and expressed the hope that there will be people
who will assist ideas of implementation of other programs connected
