Cambodia, Gabon, Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire, SAR Cuba, Singapore, Hong Kong,
Indonesia and other countries visited the NKR.
The fact that the country is more often included in the ratings of
the most attractive tourist countries of the world testifies to the
increasing interest to Nagorno Karabakh.
Arriving in Artsakh, the guests mostly visit the monastery complexes of
Gandzasar (XIII century), Amaras (IV century), Dadivank (IV century),
the excavations' zone of the ancient town of Tigranakert (I century

kitchen, NKR MFA Press Service reported.
