Politicians do not pay attention to Tigranakert (video)
Political circles in Armenia do not pay attention to Tigranakert and I would call their indifference in one word – apathy, Doctor of Historical Sciences Hamlet Petrosyan said on Monday. “No one in Armenia has taken any measure for Tigranakert, not a single party has held a protest for Tigranakert, whereas Azerbaijan is continually protesting and complaining and banning visitors from visiting Azerbaijan. They are sending letters of complaint to the organizations that participate in our excavations,” the head of a group that is holding archeological excavations in Tigranakert told reporters. Of the 70 hectare of the land, the group has excavated 2 hectares, the most important parts of the area. Thanks to the excavations, the monument has become a spectacular sight that attracts more tourists. About 30000-40000 people visit Tigranakert annually. Most of them arrive from foreign countries. One of the main goals of the excavation is to make Tigranakert known to the world.
