Following public outrage, the wording was changed to "unknown"

The description of a bronze belt in the exhibition at the History Museum of Armenia originally read: "Eastern Anatolia, Turkey." Following public criticism, the wording was changed, but questions remain: why did the Armenian museum not contest the foreign partner's description, and who was responsible for its scientific verification?

Historian Armen Ayvazyan examines the issue in the context of the name and geography of historical Armenia. Museum Director Davit Poghosyan presents his explanation.
