YEREVAN, OCTOBER 5, ARMENPRESS: Tigranakert, which has been discovered during excavations, has quite a significant role, as it was found in Aghdam territory.  As reported by Armenpress, the head of the Tigranakert expedition Hamlet Petrosyan stated: “Azerbaijan had a fundamentally negative attitude to the discovery of Tigranakert. Later they kept silent, understanding that in fact a big city was found”.

During the excavations the expedition found the wall of the city, two churches, one of the three antique districts of the city, working instruments and other structures and items.

The territory, found in the result of the excavations of Tigranakert, is considered a state reserve. About 2,000 tourists visit the site annually.
