YEREVAN. – A Bronze Age settlement, dating back to 4 millennium BC,
has been discovered on the border of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh,
director of Scientific Research Centre of Historical and Cultural
Heritage Hakob Simonyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am on Saturday.

`Our expedition found the settlement on July 22. Local authorities
actually knew about it before, they asked us to come and study the
place. We revealed that a significant part of the settlement was
destroyed as a result of agricultural work. Anyway, during the
excavations we discovered objects, which belong to the the early
period of Kura-Araxes culture,’ said Simonyan.
