    President Serzh Sargsyan visited the "Shengavit" and "Erebuni" Historic
    and Archaeological Museum Reserves today. During a consultation with
    specialists of the sphere the President was briefed on the situation
    and the problems existing in the sphere of archaeology.

    In 180 B.C. Artashes I founded capital Artashat, and the recent
    archaeological findings are proofs of its strength and richness. The
    excavations of the ancient city started in 1970 and continue into
    today. According to Pavel Avetisyan, Director of the Institute
    of Archaeology and Ethnography, the findings allow to restore the
    general picture of one of the largest state and cultural centers of
    the Ancient East and the Armenian royal city.

    As for the Shengavit archaeological site, the 5000-year-old temple and
    the adjunct structures found on its territory still need to be examined
    and restored to present the exceptional values of Ancient Armenia to
    the visitors. However, all this requires serious investments. "Despite
    the considerable achievements of the past years, the sphere needs
    serious state support," Pavel Avetisyan said.

    Director of the Erebuni Historical & Archaeological Museum-Reserve
    Gagik Gyurjyan attached importance to the programs targeted at the
    creation of infrastructures, preservation of monuments and continuation
    of excavations.
