Abstract

The article is devoted to the study  of St. Vardan imonuments in Gegharkunik province in the context of the S. Vardanants. The study of the available materials and field research during our scientific expeditions are bases to think that the path of the Armenian detachment retreating to Artsakh after the Avarayr battle passed through the Selim passage to the Sevan basin. The next clashes with the Persians pursuing them took place on the valley of Argichi River and not far from the historic village Kot.
