YEREVAN. – The tomb of Queen Katramide and two tombstones of priests
were located at the Cathedral of Ani.
`Following archaeological excavations, obvious changes were made at
the site. As a result, the tombstones were overturned and the
inscriptions were concealed. This was a deliberate move, even the
bones were thrown out. Are monuments preserved in this way?’ architect
Ashot Hakobyan stated in an interview with Hayots Ashkharh newspaper.
