YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 17, ARMENPRESS: The field works of the archeological
excavations in the territories of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh
will resume in spring, in a period between March and April. Deputy
Director of the Archeology and Ethnography Institute of the Armenian
National Academy of Sciences Gagik Sargsyan told Armenpress the
archeologists are intending to make excavations in the site of
construction of North-South road corridor to find out whether there
are historic-cultural monuments in the territory before starting
the construction.
The archeologists will mainly focus on Ashtarak-Talin road sector
where they have already found 20-25 historic-cultural monuments. It is
necessary to find out what historic and archeological significance they
have. “If it is revealed that these monuments are really valuable
the construction project relating to Ashtarak-Talin road sector
may undergo certain changes not to harm the monuments,” the deputy
director of the institute said.
