The archeological research carried out in Artsakh once again proved this land to be historically Armenian.

The excavations in Kashatagh region of NKR revealed resemblance of the local culture with the culture of the Armenian Plateau.

“The tombs found in the north of Kashatagh region give reason to assert that the local culture developed under the Urartian influence in 5-7 centuries BC,” Artak Gnuni told journalists in Yerevan.

“It means that Karabakh was a part of the ancient Armenian state,” he said.
