Restoration

Restoration has been carried out in the entrances to the stronghold: the upper part of one of them has been restored not with stone, but with a layer of plaster. While restoring the upper section of the stone frame on the entrance tympanum, they should have preserved its original form, which resembled the one enclosing the emblem of Ani, whereas in fact, now it has a pentahedral ending, which cannot be justified at all.
