The archeological explorations of the ancient town of Tigranakert have
been resumed. As leader of the expedition Hamlet Petrosyan assures the
activities will be carried out in three exploration sites: in the
Reinforced, Central and Ancient districts.
As we suppose the building of the remarkable post office built in the
19th century will be cleaned. We think that there was one more
district between the Reinforced and the Ancient districts which we
must try to find. Some examinations and investigations will be
conducted to find out the exact location of the stone monuments of the
first millennium. The explorations have started quite recently but we
have already found a very interesting thing: a stamp with a record
which is the second in number, in the previous years we found some
seals which proves that the town was of great administrative
importance. The territory of the town is much greater than we think.
And every year we encounter new and pleasant surprises here. During
the explorations we also want to clean the northern part of the early
medieval Christian temple of Gyavur-Kala. We are also working at the
new exhibition programme of the archeological museum of Tigranakert
which is going to include not only Tigranakert but also the
surroundings, Hamlet Petrosyan informed.
