Yesterday the film about the discovery of the ancient town of
Tigranakert in Artsakh entitled "Artsakh Odyssey of Tigranakert"
was demonstrated in Stepanakert.

"The American newspapers compared the discovery of Tigranakert with
the discovery of Troy," said the head of the Artsakh expedition of
the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the National Academy
Hamlet Petrosyan. "It is not just a research with a scientific,
academic value.

Everyone should be aware of the excavations of Tigranakert. Our
greatest achievement would be creation of Tigranakert in our souls
to bring us together," the archeologist said.

The head of the expedition thanked the government of Karabakh for
assistance and held out hope that there will be people who will also
"fall ill" with Tigranakert.
