NKR / Kashatagh / Zabukh

Description
1898 y․

Investigating the environs of this village in 1998 the German archaeologist Emil Reusler, came to the conclusion that there had been an ancient Armenian cemetery: “Nearby the Zabukh post-station, not far from the Tegh village I came over the fragments of gray granite sculptures. The aborigines told that they had been brought here long ago from different sites. These sculptures represented riders in full armor. Probably these stones had been taken from old Armenian graves.”
