History
When the Greek army arrived in the province of Shirak, local Armenian chiefs assembled together against them under the command of the Pahlavie general. Vahram then selected a body of 30,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, forming into three divisions, they fought against the Greeks [2]. A battle ensued in which the invaders were routed with great slaughter. The great fight was effusion of blood that the flowing to the river of Akhurian is said that the waters were dyed completely red. [3] [2] Shirak is one of the provinces of Armenia. ...
The Bridge over the Akhurian river The bridge over the Akhurian river may date back to the Bagratuni Dynasty [4]. Preferably, it may date from the thirteenth century. An inscription found nearby said that building work was done on the approach to the bridge in the early fourteenth century [5] . The Bagratuni or Bagratid royal dynasty of Armenia (Armenian: Ô²Õ¡Õ£Ö€Õ¡Õ¿Õ¸Ö‚Õ¶ÕµÕ¡Ö Ô±Ö€Ö„Õ¡ÕµÕ¡Õ¯Õ¡Õ¶ ÕÕ¸Õ°Õ´ or Bagratunyac Arqayakan Tohm) is a royal family whose branches formerly ruled many regional polities, including Armenian lands of Syunik, Lori, Vaspurakan, Kars, Taron, and Tayk. ...
The bridge's single arch has fallen, leaving only tall abutments that were perhaps part of a fortified gate [5] . Nineteenth century travelers reported a guardhouse next to the bridge, but this was lost. [5]
