AGHDZK EXCAVATIONS MAY HELP ARMENIA RISE TO INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL LEVEL - SCHOLAR
14:31 * 10.02.15
The Aghdzk excavations are of exceptional importance for Armenian
identity, Hakob Simonyan, Director of the Research Center for Cultural
and Historical Heritage, told reporters on Tuesday as he spoke of the
excavations at Armenian kings' tombs in Aghdzk, Aragatsotn region,
Armenia.
The excavations program is being implemented pursuant to the premier's
instructions.
The Aghdzk tombs have always been the focus of the government's
attention.
"This program is aimed at uniting the nation."
This program may acquire international status because this is the
only medieval tomb in the region and can be of great interest to Iraq
and Turkmenistan.
"A museum will be opened here, and territory will be improved to
become one of the most visitable sites," Mr Simonyan said.
The AMD 50 worth program is to last for three years.
The excavations must be started as soon as possible for delegations
that will arrive in Armenia on April 24 to see the ancient monument.
