NKR / Kashunik / Khalash

Description
18 c․

The Kurds that settled here since the late 18th century, during the following decades took possession of the neighboring pastures and by the middle of the 19th century already acquired considerable wealth and influence. This is evidenced by a large dwelling compound (consisting of several vaulted rooms, included into a thick wall with large arched gate) of a Kurdish bek built at the said period.
Certain renovation works conducted in the eighties fortunately remained incomplete, because it was rather a reconstruction, than renovation.
