Gyozal Kar Khachkar 1292 y․

Azerbaijan / Northern Artsakh / Dashkesan / Karhat (Nerkin)

Location

A khachkar called Gyozal Kar used to be located at the beginning of the village: “Within several steps of Karhat, we came across a cross-stone standing under the canopy of some four to five trees, almost on the brink of the gorge, as far as I remember. We found out that people commonly referred to it as Gyozal Kar.”

“Nor-Dar,” 1890, No. 122, p. 3. Note: ‘Gyozal Kar’ is the Armenian equivalent for ‘Beautiful Stone.’
