Kʻaraglukh settlement, Kuchir shal cemetery
Cemetery
The cemetery is located in a forest-covered section of the area called Kuchir Shal, 1,5 km south-west from Kʻaraglukh settlement of Khoramortʻ village in Askeran region. It was not used at least from the 18th century, as the forest has covered a part of this monument group. There are no less than thirty tombstones and khachkʻars that refer to the period between the 11th and 17th centuries.
