Archaeologists have found another Urartian trace in Artsakh. The
artifacts found as a result of excavations in Karkar castle-city
found two years ago between the cities of Shushi and Stepanakert with
the sponsorship of the state, which testify to the links between the
Kingdom of Van and the residents of Karkar.
An evidence of links between Karkar and all of Artsakh with the Kingdom
of Van is the ancient 1.5 km-long canal, which stretches from Shushi
to Karkar and passes through the city. The traces of it have been
preserved on the plateau, in the forest and the mountains.
The artifacts found in Karkar refute the evidences of Arab sources
that Karkar was founded by Khosrow Anushirvan King in the 6th century.
The city has a more ancient history, which is proved by the items
found during excavations.
