The cemetery is located on the forested hill to the east of the village Qaraglukh in Askeran region. The cemetery occupies an extremely vast area, covering approximately 0.3 hectares. Some of the tombstones are composed of simple, unpolished stones, but the majority are trapezoidal in shape (Figs. 1, 2). Some khachkars were relocated from their original locations (Fig. 3). Khachkar fragments of various sizes have been preserved. The cemetery's tombstones and khachkars can be classified into two chronological groups: the 13th–14th centuries and the 17th–20th centuries. Furthermore, the old-new burials are not categorized topographically; they are mostly mixed.

Several khachkars in the cemetery's area are notable for their art style, size, and lithography. On the back of the khachkar is the inscription of one of them. The inscription says: "In 1253, during Hasan's reign, I Snpat raised this cross in the name of Christ as a land and tomb for myself and my wife Kata. May Christ protect our sons, Amen. "

The Hasan mentioned in the inscription is Hasan Jalal, the ruler of Khachen. He had one son and three daughters. His offspring, regardless of gender, are termed as sons in this circumstance.

The cemetery is located on the forested hill to the east of the village Qaraglukh in Askeran region. The cemetery occupies an extremely vast area, covering approximately 0.3 hectares. Some of the tombstones are composed of simple, unpolished stones, but the majority are trapezoidal in shape (Figs. 1, 2). Some khachkars were relocated from their original locations (Fig. 3). Khachkar fragments of various sizes have been preserved. The cemetery’s tombstones and khachkars can be classified into two chronological groups: the 13th–14th centuries and the 17th–20th centuries. Furthermore, the old-new burials are not categorized topographically; they are mostly mixed. Several khachkars in the cemetery’s area are notable for their art style, size, and lithography. On the back of the khachkar is the inscription of one of them. The inscription says: “In 1253, during Hasan’s reign, I Snpat raised this cross in the name of Christ as a land and tomb for myself and my wife Kata. May Christ protect our sons, Amen. ” The Hasan mentioned in the inscription is Hasan Jalal, the ruler of Khachen. He had one son and three daughters. His offspring, regardless of gender, are termed as sons in this circumstance. Snpat, his wife, Katan, and their child are depicted on the front of the khachkar (Figs. 5, 6). The family feast was a prominent theme in Artsakh khachkar sculpture. The following inscription may be found on the second khachkar, which is divided into two parts to the south of the first khackar: “We: Me and my sons, Papa [q], Snpat, Sargis (CAE 5, figs. 6, 7).

Պատմական ակնարկ

Նորակառույց եկեղեցի է, օծումը տեղի է ունեցել 2013 թվականին։

Ճարտարապետական-հորինվածքային նկարագրություն

Եկեղեցին քառաբսիդ է, ներսից խաչաձև, արտաքինից՝ քառանկյուն հատակագծով։ Խաչաձևությունը արտահայտվում է չորս անկյուններում ավանդատների առկայությամբ։ Անցումը գմբեթատակ ծավալից դեպի թմբուկ իրականացված է տրոմպային համակարգով։ Կառուցվել է սրբատաշ տուֆով (նկ. 2)։

Կառույցը բարձրանում է եռաստիճան հիմնախարսխի վրա։ Արևմտյան, հարավային և հյուսիսային կողմերից ունի երեքական պատուհան։ Մուտքը արևմտյան կողմից է, բարավորին առկա է արձանագրություն (նկ. 3)։ Արևելյան պատի վրա առկա են հռիփսիմեատիպ երկու խորշեր և մեկ լուսամուտ (նկ. 4)։

Վիճակը պատերազմից առաջ, ընթացքում և պատերազմից հետո

Պատերազմից առաջ եկեղեցին ամբողջությամբ կանգուն էր։ Ինչպես պատերազմի ընթացքի, այնպես և պատերազմից հետո հուշարձանի մասին որևէ տեղեկություն հայտնի չէ։

На территории памятника сохранились различные надгробия – как простые, необработанные плиты, так и фрагменты правильно обработанных камней-«колыбелей» и хачкаров (рис. 2, 3, 4).Среди них выделяется целый, типичный для 13-го века хачкар, опирающийся на дерево в центре кладбища (рис. 5). Он имеет широкий карниз, покрытый плетеной резьбой. Скульптурная композиция, расположенная ниже, по обе стороны цетрального крыла креста, представляет собой так называемый «семейный портрет», который также является одной из основных тем скульптурных изображений хачкаров Арцаха.

Հատակագծային հորինվածքը միանավ բազիլիկ տիպի է։ Աղոթասրահն ունի  են 5,8-2,5 մետր չափեր, բարձրությունը՝ 4,4 մետր: Հարավային  կողմում են բացված եկեղեցու մուտքը  և երկու՝  դեպի ներս լայնացող   պատուհանները: Արևելյան կողմում՝ խորանի մեջ ժայռափոր բեմն է, դեպի ուր տանում են չորս ժայռափոր աստիճաններ (նկ․ 2)։ Խորանի մեջ փորված են երկու պատրհան-խորշեր։ Սուրբ խորանից հանվել է սեղանի վեմ-քարը, որի տեղը երևում է: Այս քարը եկեղեցու կառուցվածքային համակարգում միակ բաղադրիչն է, որ առանձին է կերտված։ Եկեղեցու ներքնատեսքն ունի  զուսպ հարդարանք։ Պատերը լավ մշակված են, բայց որևէ գրություն և խաչաքանդակ չեն կրում (նկ․ 3)։

Եկեղեցու արևմտյան կողմում պահպանվել է նաև բնական կամար, որի միջով է ժամանակին անցել սրբավայր տանող ճանապարհը: Կամարի ու եկեղեցու կենտրոնական մասում, մեծ ժայռաբեկորի վրա, փոսորակ կա, որը խաչքարի տեղ է հիշեցնում: Անկասկած,  ժամանակին այստեղ նաև խաչքար-կոթող է եղել, որը մահմեդական  տեղաբնակների կողմից վերացվել է:

Մատենագրական քննություն

Քաշաթաղի շրջանում՝ ժայռափոր համալիրներում, հետազոտություններ են իրականացվել դեռևս 1987-89 թվականներին։ Ուսումնասիրություններն իրականացրել է ՀԽՍՀ ԳԱ Աշխարհագրական ընկերության Քարանձավագիտական արշավախումբը։ Այդ աշխատանքներն ընդհատվել են արցախյան հակամարտության սրման պատճառով և վերսկսվել 2003 թվականից։ Գիտահետազոտական  աշխատանքներն իրականացնում էր Հայաստանի Անձավագիտական կենտրոնը։ Վերջինիս և քարանձավագիտական միջազգային գիտական արշավախմբերի համատեղ հետազոտական աշխատանքները Հակարի գետի և նրա վտակների ավազանում ամփոփվել են տեղական և միջազգային գիտական պարբերականներում (Шагинян 2020, 39,40)։ Տանձուտի վիմափոր եկեղեցու  հատակագիծն ու հակիրճ նկարագրությունը զետեղված է  միջազգային գիտաժողովի նյութերը ներկայացնող ժողովածույում (Gunko, Shahinyan, Kondrateva 2021, 57-61)։

Սամվել Կարապետյանը «Հայ մշակույթի հուշարձանները Խորհրդային Ադրբեջանին բռնակցված շրջաններում» գրքում նույնպես անդրադարձել է Տանձուտի վիմափոր եկեղեցուն (Կարապետյան 1999, 141)։

Վիճակը պատերազմից առաջ, ընթացքում և հետո

Խորհրդային շրջանում գյուղը հայաթափվել է և բնակեցվել մահմեդականներով (Կարապետյան 1999, 140, 141)։ Գյուղի վիմափոր եկեղեցին  և շրջակայքի բնակարանները հիմնականում  որպես անասնագոմ էին ծառայում։ Արցախյան առաջին պատերազմից հետո դրանք մաքրվել են։

Արցախյան երկրորդ  պատերազմի ընթացքում և հետո Տանձուտի եկեղեցին  էական փոփոխություններ չի կրել։

Historical overview

The Avetaranots settlement has a rich cultural- historical heritage and served as the center of Varanda province as well as Varanda's rule. The "Kkven buyn" church is one of the village's many cultural-historical monuments (Fig. 1). Traces of medieval rural settlements can be seen in the church's western-eastern foothills. There is no historical data regarding the church or the dwellings. The architectural features, as well as the khachkars and rock crosses on the site, allow the ancient monument to be dated to the 12th–14th centuries.

For centuries, the chapel served as a place of pilgrimage for residents of neighboring settlements.

The church is a single-nave vaulted hall with a 5.5x4.5-meter rectangular layout. It is built from local split stones and lime mortar (Fig. 2). The vault of the church has crumbled (Fig. 3). The entrance is on the east side. The entrance lintel and curbstones are missing. A small east-facing window provided lighting. The church does not have an accentuated tabernacle. It is divided from the main hall by small niches in the wall that run from north to south and are used to store church objects.

The medieval cemetery surrounds the church and contains many khachkars and tombstones (Fig. 4). The majority of cemetery monuments are weather-beaten or fragmented. On the flat surface of one of the rocks in the area, two cross sculptures have been preserved (Fig. 5).

The condition before, during, and after the war

The church was undamaged throughout the first Artsakh war. During the 2020 hostilities, the site was a hotspot of warfare. After the war, nothing is known about the monument.

Location The church, known as “Kkven buyn” (Kkvi buyn, or the cuckoo’s nest), is located 1.5 kilometers north-west of Avetaranots village in Artsakh’s Askeran region. It is situated on the top of a forested hill on the eastern edge of the old rural settlement. Historical overview     The Avetaranots settlement has a rich cultural- historical heritage and served as the center of Varanda province as well as Varanda’s rule. The “Kkven buyn” church is one of the village’s many cultural-historical monuments (Fig. 1). Traces of medieval rural settlements can be seen in the church’s western-eastern foothills. There is no historical data regarding the church or the dwellings. The architectural features, as well as the khachkars and rock crosses on the site, allow the ancient monument to be dated to the 12th–14th centuries. For centuries, the chapel served as a place of pilgrimage for residents of neighboring settlements. Architectural- compositional examination The church is a single-nave vaulted hall with a 5.5×4.5-meter rectangular layout. It is built from local split stones and lime mortar (Fig. 2). The vault of the church has crumbled (Fig. 3). The entrance is on the east side. The entrance lintel and curbstones are missing. A small east-facing window provided lighting. The church does not have an accentuated tabernacle. It is divided from the main hall by small niches in the wall that run from north to south and are used to store church objects. The medieval cemetery surrounds the church and contains many khachkars and tombstones (Fig. 4). The majority of cemetery monuments are weather-beaten or fragmented. On the flat surface of one of the rocks in the area, two cross sculptures have been preserved (Fig. 5).

Historical overview

It was consecrated in 2013 and is a newly built church.

Architectural-compositional examination

In terms of structure, it's a tetraconch church. It has a tetragon shape from the layout and is cross-shaped from the inside. The presence of sacristies in each of the four corners emphasizes the cross-shaped structure. The squinch system creates a transition between the cupola volume and the drum. The church is built of polished tufa (Fig. 2).
