Azerbaijani propaganda is engaging in discourse regarding Tigranakert

It’s noteworthy that despite their ignorance, the Azerbaijani side has begun to incorporate excavation materials, drawings, and sketches from Armenian archaeologists into their discourse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JasrYqTwhOA). Naturally, accusations persist, alleging illegal excavation, concealment of findings, and the relocation of khachkars from elsewhere to Tigranakert. Nevertheless, there’s a discernible advancement: they attempt to discredit us by showcasing our endeavors, albeit in a half-hearted, patronizing manner, occasionally even resorting to mockery.

Before speaking about Tigranakert, please ensure you have a basic understanding of it. We are sharing an article and pictures by Hamlet Petrosyan, the expedition leader, as an aid to the Azeri agitprop.

We will soon be launching a trilingual website dedicated to Tigranakert. The website will present all the facts and details about Tigranakert in about 40 different sections. The website is being launched as a “recognition and tribute” to agitprop. Can you guys get serious, at least a little?
