archeological museum director Gagik Gyurjyan stated, that those
excavations are the continuations of Armenian-French expedition work.
” We intend to reveal all then layers at the course of the scheduled
excavations. There is exact accuracy of layers. If the goal of the

more difficult; reportedly Shengavit dates 4 th millennium BC and

year- results are set to be wrapped up current year, September,
