In the Hrazdan gorge, under the bold gaze of Aragats (not Ararat), an excavator has just destroyed a natural monument formed 300,000 years ago, which was one of the calling cards of the capital.
About this on his Facebook pagewroteHayk Demoyan, doctor of historical sciences, former director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute. "This is just the beginning.
Soon, the backhoe of an excavator will send the writer's lap into a rich archaeological layer at least 10 meters thick, with artifacts dating from the Stone Age to the late Middle Ages.
After the rains, passing through here you can collect remains of medieval glazed pottery. After clearing the place, a building will be built here. It is better not to see its aesthetic anatomy, otherwise you can easily write Anatomic-2 on the building of the municipality. What am I saying, dear citizens of Yerevan?
Let's say that Zhanna Andreasyan is not in her place, archaeologists obey ethnographers, so can't the human rights defenders, progressive feminists and newly minted journalist-analysts, led by Petros Ghazaryan, stand at the edge of the valley and make a good demonstration? I will see it from my balcony and my heart will cool down a little," wrote Demoyan.
