Thank you for an interesting summary of a trek around some of our villages, off the beaten path. Thank you for noting the generosity of our countrymen, despite the fact that they are poor.
Moz (near Yeghegnadzor, where I live) is an “Armenian Pompei” and no one has even scratched the surface. There is a very interesting legend about Moz related in the guidebook edited by Raffi Kojian: “Rediscovering Armenia”.
When I visited Moz in 2003, a local had used a bulldoser next to Moz-aghpyur to build a restaurant. He found the head of a dragon (վիշապ).
I really enjoyed the article thank you unger Daghdigian.
