Until fairly recently, due to it's proximity to the border with Armenia, the whole city had been off limits to tourists as it lay within a militarised zone. During the 20th century the city was subject to vandalism, looting, deliberate destruction and questionable quality archaeological excavations that have all left their mark on the site and diminished it's splendour and how much could be learnt from it. This vast area is certainly still subject to looting and vandalism but it remains an archaeological and architectural treasure that demonstrates the former glories of the medieval Armenian people. These images were taken in a single visit made in May 2015.

This substantial church was largely intact until 1957 when, during a storm, half of the superstructure collapsed. The other half is incredibly unstable and access to it is now blocked for that reason. Scaffolding has been employed in what appears to be an attempt to hold the remaining half up.
