Description

“Tarvanot first mentioned by St. Orbelian in the list of the taxpayers (6 dahekan) of the Kovsakan district, was a small village, presently ruined and desolate. It was situated in dense forest, 2 km southeast of Tzobi. Both the church and the cemetery have totally collapsed or destroyed. Only the prop-walls of residential houses and fruit trees, having gone wild long ago are preserved in the site.
