STEPANAKERT, MAY 18, ARTSAKHPRESS: In an interview with "Artsakhpress", Zhanna Arstamyan, director of the Artsakh State Museum of History and Geography, noted that the museum has collected many carpets over the decades, which are stored in funds and there is a need to display them.
She noted that carpet weaving in Artsakh has been developed since ancient times, which is evidenced by the early carpet-weaving tools and comb-like beaters of bone called ktutich (2nd-1st millennia BC).
According to our interlocutor, the characteristic features of Artsakh carpets are fine taste, fabric density, and smoothness.
The event was also attended by Norayr Mkrtchyan, Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of the Artsakh Republic.
