THE BRIDGES OF ARTSAKH

Bridge of Garnaker

Another bridge extending over the river Shamkor, it is located in the neighbourhood of Garnaker Village, Shamkhor District, Northern Artsakh—a region that suffered deportation of its Armenian population in 1988 and has been annexed to Azerbaijan since then. The period of its construction is unknown, but it may be attributed to the Middle Ages. The bridge of Garnaker used to be a double-span one built of undressed stone and mortar.__11. Karapetian, S. Northern Artsakh. Yerevan, 2007, p. 488. At present all its vaulted spans are in ruins.
