STEPANAKERT, FEBRUARY 10, ARTSAKHPRESS: 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.
