    YEREVAN, JULY 30, ARMENPRESS: Armenian-French excavation group this
    year chose such part for excavations in Erebuni which had been
    studied less during the previous years. About this informed head
    of Armenian-French excavation group Stefan Deshamp during press
    conference on July 30. "There are several issues which did not
    receive answers during excavations in 1950-s and 1960-s. This year
    we chose the territory near temple of Khald god in order to answer
    many questions. The main question of the excavations was to find out
    what connection had the temple of Khald and great hall with pillars
    which had been excavated in past," he said, reports "Armenpress".

    In his words during 2012 excavations they discovered the street
    art around the temple and this year continued excavations in the
    above-mentioned s street which possibly is the oldest street in
    Yerevan. "This street allows making chronological adjustments," said
    the leader of the excavation group. He mentioned that in result of
    current year excavations they came to conclusion that Erebuni greatly
    suffered from the earthquake which happened in the second art of 7th
    century. Besides entrance pillars of Khald god temple were discovered.

    Armenian-French archaeological excavation group implements excavations
    in Erebuni temple since 2008. On July 30 was summed up the 6th stage
    of excavations. The excavations will continue till 2015.
