The Discovery of Handaberd Monastery (in Armenian) 1 of 3
This short video offers viewers a glimpse into a forgotten chapter of medieval Armenian history: the discovery of a monastery on a mountain above the town of Knaravan, in the Karvajar (Kelbajar) region of Artsakh, a forested wilderness between the Republic of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh. It is a wild, almost uninhabited mountainous area formally a part of Azerbaijan, but occupied by Armenian forces since the Karabakh war. The monastery is directly opposite the famous Handaberd fortress, perched dramatically on a neighboring mountaintop where it overlooks this Eden-like landscape. Assembled from interviews filmed at the site over a period of a year during the making of a film about Knaravan, the video follows Dr. Hamlet Petrosyan, a native of Artsakh and one of Armenia’s leading archaeologists, as he guides us through the newly recovered ruins of the monastery. Along the way he discovers a hidden inscription and illuminates some of the sensational khachkars discovered at the site. Dr. Petrosyan, who recently led the rediscovery of Tigranakert in Agdam, is a well-known expert on khachkars and the history of Artsakh. His insights on the significance of Handaberd monastery and the forgotten history of the region are invaluable to any serious student of Armenian culture. PLEASE NOTE: This video is not a finished film. Rather, it is a rough compilation of unedited footage and interviews put together as an archival record. As such, English subtitles were not added. I hope to do …

Tigranakert : An Armenian Odyssey Part 2
www.youtube.com Chronicles the discovery of an ancient Armenian city on territory occupied by Armenian forces since the Karabagh war. According to historians there were as many as 5 major cities built by Tigran the Great at various strategic positions throughout the Armenian Empire, ranging from Lebanon to the Caspian Sea. Each of these cities was named after the king — Tigranakert. The greatest Tigranakert, the capitol of the realm and the residence of Tigran himself, is widely believed to have been in the vicinity of modern Diyarbakir. Of the several Tigranakerts, the general locations of only two of them have ever been known for sure – the Tigranakert near Diyarbakir and the Tigranakert of Artsakh – but archaeologists have never been able to find their remains. This film is about the rediscovery of the Tigranakert of Artsakh, located in the present day Agdam region currently controlled by the Republic of Nagorno-Karabagh. For an exact map location please see the Recording Date and Location info in the Statistics and Date tab, right beneath the ratings box. The existence of the Tigranakert of Artsakh has never been a secret, though its precise location has never been revealed until now. Historical evidence can be found in the works of the 7th century historians Sebeos and Movses Kaghankatvatsi. Sebeos makes repeated references to the Tigranakert of Artsakh, or Utik (the classical Armenian name of the province just east of Artsakh where the city is located), and …

Faith, Hope and Survival in Nagorno-Karabakh
Archbishop Barkev Martirosyan on the People of Artsakh and Armenia Fund’s Impact on their Daily Lives HOLLYWOOD–In an exclusive Horizon TV interview, Archbishop Barkev Martirosyan, the Prelate of the Diocese of Artsakh, speaks to Manouk Seraydarian about faith, hope and survival in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and the transformative impact of Armenia Fund’s programs in Artsakh. The Archbishop visited Horizon late last week while in Glendale, California for the 13th annual Armenia Fund Telethon scheduled to air live on Thanksgiving Thursday. More information here. The archbishop has traveled to California year after year to participate in the event, appearing on TV to appeal to Armenians around the world to support the development of the Republics of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.This Thanksgiving he will once again take to the airwaves during the telethon, this time to raise awareness of the fact that more than 70000 people in Artsakh are deprived of clean water. During his interview on Horizon, Archbishop Martirosyan spoke of Armenia Fund’s role in Nagorno-Karabakh and its positive impact on the people of the land. But he also discussed many of the problems still facing the nascent republic. He described the 21st century as an era of victory for the Armenian people. But that the victory, he noted, is incomplete when the average villager in Artsakh, who fought to liberate his homeland, lacks access to life’s most basic necessity. He said that while the Armenian people …
