Bridge of Stepan

This is another bridge lying over the river Artinajoor in Banants Village, Karhat (Dashkesan) District, Northern Artsakh—a region that suffered deportation of its Armenian population in 1988 and has been annexed to Azerbaijan since then. It was erected within a year (1886) on Village Head Stepan Hovhannissiants’s initiative and through the local people’s means (2,000 roubles). __11. Nor-Dar , 1887, No. 113, p. 3 (the original in Armenian).
