The staff of the NKR Department of Tourism had an unexpected gift for the Diocese of the Armenian Church in Artsakh on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the reestablishment of the church. Two weeks ago, the staff discovered the remains of an Armenian Church in the Krkzhan neighborhood of Stepanakert, the NKR capital. The find was reported to "Hetq" today by Sergei Shahverdyan who runs the department. He states that based on source materials the remains belong to the Holy Savior Church built in the 19th century. The department staff also uncovered stone crosses dating back to the 13th century on the site. This would imply that a church existed on the same site centuries ago. Mr. Shahverdyan confessed that even after the liberation of Krkzhan, no one in Karabakh was aware of the church since the former Azeri residents had converted it into a stable and destroyed it. An examination of the site is now underway.
