Photos: 12th Century Cross-Stones Discovered

In the forested areas surrounding Stepanakert, previously unknown 12th-century cross-stones have been discovered. This was announced by the State Service for the Preservation of Historical Environment through their official Facebook page.

It was noted that the cross-stones were uncovered and reported to the authorities by a resident of Stepanakert, David Harutyunyan. “Recently, resident David Harutyunyan approached us and stated that he had seen large cross-stones in the forests around Stepanakert. We decided to visit with David and found that these cross-stones from the 12th century are not registered,” the statement reads.
