Appropriation of Taik spiritual-cultural heritage

According to the claims of Georgian scientists, Taik, the 14th state of Greater Armenia, was permanently inhabited by ethnic Georgians, while the Armenians were settlers. Based on this viewpoint of Georgian studies, the Georgian side has claims not only over the religious and secular architecture but also over spiritual and cultural achievements. Many architectural buildings of Taik that are currently in the territory of the present-day Turkey, according to the recently placed signs, are Georgian, and the Georgian side is also implementing studies and restoration works there. Davit Nahatakyan, Candidate of Architecture Science, and Arkady Akopov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, talk about Armenian studies of architecture and demographic situation of Taik.
