Khtzkonk Monastery
Khtzkonk Monastery ((アルメニア語:Խծկոնք), also transcribed as Xc'konk'; (トルコ語:Beşkilise)) was a monastic ensemble of five Armenian churches built between the seventh and thirteenth centuries in what was then the Armenian Bagratid kingdom.〔Sinclair, Thomas A. (1987), ''Eastern Turkey: An Architectural and Archaeological Survey, Volume 1''. London: Pindar Press, p. 421.〕 It is now near the town of Digor, the administrative capital of the Digor district of the Kars Province in Turkey, about 19 kilometres west of the border with Armenia. The monastery is located in a gorge formed by the Digor River.
The monastery with its five churches was intact when photographed by the Armenian archaeologist Ashkharbek Kalantar in August 1920, just before Turkey captured the region from Armenia.〔Kalantar, Ashkharbek (1994), ''Armenia From the Stone Age to the Middle Ages, Selected Papers'', Neuchâtel: Recherches et Publications, pp. 84-89.〕 In 1959 the French art historian Jean-Michel Thierry visited the site and found that four of the five churches had been destroyed, with only the Church of Saint Sargis surviving.〔 Thierry, Jean-Michel, "Notes Sur des Monuments Armeniens en Turquie (1964)," ''Revue des Études Arméniennes'' 2 (1965), 165-84.〕 According to local people, the churches were blown up by the Turkish army using high explosives, which was reaffirmed by citizens of Digor in 2002.〔Hofmann, Tessa (2003). ''Armenians in Turkey Today: A Critical Assessment of the Situation of the Armenian Minority in the Turkish Republic''. Brussels: Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe, p. 40.〕 Their information is confirmed by the physical evidence on the site. The dome of the surviving church is intact but the side walls have been blown outwards; the destroyed churches have been entirely leveled with their masonry blasted into the gorge below. This is damage that cannot have occurred as a result of an earthquake, William Dalrymple remarked.〔Dalrymple, William , "Armenia's Other Tragedy," ''The Independent Magazine'', 18 March 1989.〕
