The churches of St. Sargis and St. Grigor, in Zar, are both single nave chapels built in the 13th century. More information can be found at the link. St. Sargis is particularly threatened due to the 8 Armenian inscriptions on the walls of the church.<\/p>\n

Between October 5, 2023 and June 2, 2024, the standing ruins of Zar were removed and the terrain graded. Only the two Armenian churches remain standing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
