YEREVAN.- Armenian expedition discovered a church with Armenian
inscriptions in Turkey during research in the territory of Western
Armenia (present day Turkey).
“We, jointly with expert in Turkish studies Anush Hovhanisyan, studied
territory of Hamshen, Dersim, traditional musical instruments, songs,
dances, folklore, fairy tales, proverbs,” ethnography expert Hranush
Kharatyan told journalists on Wednesday.
The Armenian musicians also gave there concerts within the framework of
